Trevor Huddleston, then Bishop of Stepney, London, and ANC president Oliver Tambo at the World Council of Churches Consultation on Racism, held in Notting Hill, London, 19–24 May 1969. The consultation concluded that force could be used to combat racism in situations where non-violent political strategies had failed. The PCR gave grants for humanitarian purposes to the Southern African liberation movements and other anti-apartheid organisations, including the AAM.

In 1972 the World Council of Churches Central Committee resolved to sell its investments in companies involved in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Portugal’s African colonies. It urged member churches and individual Christians to press corporations to withdraw their investments. The move followed the WCC’s historic decision in 1968 to set up its Programme to Combat Racism (PCR) and ask member churches to withdraw investments from institutions that perpetuate racism. This pamphlet set out the arguments behind the WCC’s resolution.

The Southern Africa Solidarity Committee was a coalition of youth and student groups set up in 1969 in the wake of the 1968 student demonstrations in France and other European countries. This leaflet publicised a march past the headquarters of companies involved in Southern Africa. It also advertised a conference on guerrilla warfare organised by the AAM and asked supporters to demonstrate against all-white South African sports teams.

The Church of England and other British churches held large investments in companies and banks involved in Southern Africa. In this pamphlet, Methodist minister David Haslam reviewed the churches response to the World Council of Churches call for disinvestment and argued that they were failing to meet the challenge of acting to end apartheid and racism in Southern Africa.

This leaflet advertised a fundraising event held on the evening of the AAM’s conference on liberation and guerrilla warfare, at the Round House in Camden, north London. It featured a film about Bob Dylan’s England tour ‘Don’t Look Back’ and poetry and music groups The Scaffold, Yes and Dry Ice. 

In 1967 and 1968 ANC and ZAPU guerrilla units joined forces to try and fight their way through Zimbabwe to South Africa. This leaflet advertised an AAM conference that emphasised armed struggle as the main strategy for achieving liberation in Southern Africa. It gave a platform to representatives of the liberation movements from all the countries of the region. The conference took place in the climate of youth militancy that followed the 1968 student demonstrations in France and other European countries.
