Keynote speakers for the banquet is Judge Jean Williams o f Phoenix, South Africans seek freedom (Continued from page I column 6) "Congressman Ron Wyden, who represents most Black people in Portland, has refused to support the policies o f A frica n liberation groups.” Ron Herndon said, “ It is obvious that big business and poli- ticans in Oregon only give lip service to the idea o f human rights fo r Black people in South Africa. While these groups condemn and punish Poland, Black people in South A f rica have suffered under martial law and the most inhuman forms o f in justice for decades. The message is clear, justice is something reserved for white people.” Isaacs added, "The United States has repeatedly exercised its right to veto United Nations sanctions against the white regime. The con cern o f the U.S. has been the main tenance o f economics. This supports institutionalized violence and op pression in South A frica.” The Pan A fricanist Congress is one o f the two United Nations rec ognized liberation movements that are fighting South African colonial ism. The PAC is waging a national lib e ra tion struggle to liberate Azania from white settlers colonized their land, renaming it "S outh A f rica.” Isaacs has been an active and leading participant in the Azanian struggle for many years. He was president o f the Student Representa tive Council at the University o f the Western Cape when e fforts to re press the student movement resulted in the expulsion o f the entire student body and the closing o f the univer sity. As a founding member o f the South African Student Organization (SASO), the forerunner o f the Black Consciousness Movement, he played a leading role in the growing A frica n nationalist movement within South A frica. He served as SASO’s vice-president in 1972, and its president in 1973, when he was banned, placed under house ar rest, and then imprisoned. Since his exile from Azania, Isaacs has be come the C hief Representative o f CALL FOR BIDS U.S. Department of Transportation FEDERAL H IG H W A Y A D M IN IS T R A T IO N . February 18, 1982.

" I reject completely the idea that the struggle in South A fric a is a struggle between Communism and anti-Communism or a struggle be tween Black and white—it’s a strug gle o f right and wrong. It is a strug gle o f life and death.” Most recently, the PAC has been strengthened by the release from Robben Island prison o f Nyati Po- kela. who was elected chairman o f the PAC after completing a 13-year prison term. Recent articles in the South A frica n press have warned that because o f Chairman Pokela’s u n ifyin g leadership South A fric a must prepare itse lf fo r what they call "a new onslaught.” " I n order to effect reasonable change, there must be redistribution o f wealth and pow er,” Isaacs added.
