Anti-Apartheid Movement and lessons for today panel as part of Israeli Apartheid Week in Houston

A discussion hosted by Houston participants in the Anti-Apartheid struggle in solidarity with South Africa. We hope to learn some of the lessons from the international solidarity movement which struggled and defeated white minority rule in Apartheid South Africa. Speakers included Brother Ester King, alumni of Texas Southern University, veteran of Organization for Black Student Unity and Afro Americans for Black Liberation and currently a board member of Palestinians for Peace and Democracy, Busi Peters, alumni of the University of Houston, founder of Women Healing and Empowering Women (WHEW) and organizer with Creative Women Unite and Nick Cooper, Alumin of Rice University and organizer with Houston Indymedia and Food Not Bombs.

Full audio, levels were adjusted a little bit (it might be quite for the first 5 mins, but gets louder), it is close to an hour and a half long

Since it was first launched in 2005, Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) has grown to become one of the most important global events in the Palestine solidarity calendar. Last year, more than 40 cities around the world participated in the week’s activities, which took place in the wake of Israel’s brutal assault against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. IAW continues to grow with new cities joining this year. This year Houston is one of these cities. UH SDS is excited to host a week of events from March 8th to the 12th as part of this global week of action in solidarity with the Palestinian Struggle
