Anti-Apartheid
in Bristol
HE Bristol group of Anti-Apar-
theid has produced a special
leaflet. 5,000 copies have been pro-
duced and it is planned to circulate
them to all industrial workers in the
Bristol area. It has already been dis-
tributed to factory workers at the
Hawker-Siddeley works. The leaflet
emphasises the responsibility of white
progressives to fight against apar-
theid and demonstrates how this sys-
tem destroys human values and takes
away elementary rights. It is hoped
that local trade union support for
Anti-Apartheid will show a big in-
crease arising from this activity.
