Sullivan pressed successfully for the giant automaker to buy more parts from black suppliers, place more advertising in black publications and promote black advancement within the company. He initially prodded GM to get out of South Africa because of apartheid.

"We can hold our heads up. We are artists, but we are* also citizens of the world," Steven Van Zandt said at the presentation. "We have a responsibility to tell people the truth. And that's what we did." Van Zandt, a writer-guitarist who co-produced the "Sun City" album, gave the check to ANC President Oliver Tarn bo for use in ANC social programs. The money is not to be used for arms in the ANC's fight against South Africa. "Sun City" has been nominated for two Grammy awards, in tne categories ot best vocals and best video.
