The event took place in a gymnasium, so the accoustics were less than ideal, audio is a little echoy. I'm not a skilled enough audio editor to take out the high tones, but if you are, please feel free to fix it up and re-upload! :)
Enjoy!

First Mp3 is Dennis Brutus, a South African who struggled against aparthied. He speaks about the anti-aparthied movement in South Africa and the willingness of some to compromise and take money from the IMF and World Bank, bringing South Africa into the Global Aparthied struggle, and the need to march for freedom again as the struggle continues.
He reads a poem near the end of his speech. 8:36
