The Congressional Black Caucus is considering
sending an official delegation to South Africa to
study conditions for blacks living under the apartheid
government there, Rep. Mickey Leland
(D-Tex.) said during a visit here last Thursday.
Leland, first vice chairman of the Caucus and
chairman of the Black Caucus of the Democratic
National Committee, said South African Nobel
Peace Prize winner, Bishop Desmond Tutu, had requested
such a "fact-finding" tour and that last
Wednesday the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed
the Rev. Jesse Jackson*s plans to make a
similar trip.
__ A South African visit by Congressional Black
Caucus members would occur in the wake of two
weeks of sit-ins by prominent black Americans at
the South African Embassy in Washington. The
demonstrators pressed for the release of 21 black

Tutu met with President Reagan.
"Historically, though there have been members
of the Congressional Black Caucus who have traveled
to South Africa, most members have refused to
go to South Africa as a gesture unto itself," Leland
said shortly before a speech to supporters of
Winston-Salem's Patterson Avenue YMCA.
"We are now in a quandary about whether it is
the best strategy, mainly because Bishop Tutu, who
is the great campaigner for human rights in South
Africa, is appealing to us to go to South Africa to
try to give some impetus to non-violent struggle in
South Africa and to show, the people there that

heard from him," said Wilson. 44The board
ruled in his favor.**
Wilson would not comment further on the
committee's ruling.
Norman contends that he was denied tenure
and subsequently fired because he supported
another professor who had been fired. Norman
said the first time he applied for tenure,
he was turned down by Dr. Melvin Gadson,
chairman of WSSU's education department,
because Gadson had not been worked at the
university long enough to evaluate him fairly.
