(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

" 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

added. "O u r orientation is in the in

ple.”
