For more information, see pages 58-61 of the October-November 1981 SCLC Magazine issue: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12322/auc.199:07020. Written on verso: South Africa -- SCLC President Joseph E. Lowery tells demonstrators gathered in opposition to the U.S. veto of the U.N. Security Council's resolution condemning the South African invasion of Angola that "the failure of the United States to support the U.N. resolution aligns the U.S. with racist oppression and military aggression in southern Africa," and he called for the immediate withdrawal of South African troops from Angola.
