SARF focused on eight nations, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde Islands, Sao Tome and Principe, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), South Africa and South West Africa (Namibia) that were dominated by European minorities. Key members included Randall Robinson (chairman) and other students at Harvard Law School including Dennis R. Tourse (Vice-Chairman), Robert C. Holmes (Secretary), Brenda Randolph Robinson (Treasurer), Cherry Holmes (Assistant Treasurer) and Robert Freeman (Executive Secretary). SARF produced a slide show that was widely shown in the Boston area including on Say Brother, WGBH's public affairs television program by, for and about African Americans. SARF used the address of the Harvard Black Law Students Association .... Many SARF members later founded the Pan-African Liberation Committee.

| 520 | 0 | |a "The Pan-African Liberation Committee (PALC) was formed by individuals who were involved in the Southern Africa Relief Fund and were students at Harvard University including Randall Robinson, Brenda Randolph Robinson and South African exile Chris Nteta. PALC's initial focus was on a boycott of Gulf Oil Corporation because of the company's exploitation of oil in the Portuguese colony of Angola. In April 1972, 14 hours after Harvard President Derek Bok announced the university would not divest from Gulf, a group of black students from Harvard Radcliffe Association of African and Afro-American Students (Afro) and the Pan-African Liberation Committee took over Massachusetts Hall, headquarters of the central administration, demanding that the university sell its investments in the company. This began the Gulf divestment campaign at Harvard. One year later, on April 24, 1973, following a Harvard Corporation meeting that reaffirmed the decision not to divest from Gulf, 1,500 students crowded into Harvard Yard, blocking President Bok from his Massachusetts Hall offices. PALC was also active in the broader Cambridge-Boston area. The organization ceased to operate around 1974." (Source: PALC documents; Harvard Crimson archives; Brenda Randolph)--description from African Activist Archive (africanactivist.msu.edu) website. Correspondents include: Carol Laise (Washington DC, Dept of State), Charles C. Diggs, Jr., Chris Nteta, Sister Marie Augusta Neal. | |

It also promoted Pan Africanism. The organization collaborated with the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the African Information Service, and other organizations. The African Youth Movement for Liberation and Unity published a newsletter."--description from African Activist Archive (africanactivist.msu.edu) website. | |
