Learning more on apartheid

March 4, 1999

The University of Connecticut and the African National Congress agreed this week to archive papers on the ANC's struggle for human rights in South Africa - including official documents and Nelson Mandela's personal correspondence - that scholars worldwide can start accessing. As part of the agreement, the University of Connecticut and the University of Fort Hare, South Africa, plan to hold annual conferences and produce a journal on comparative human rights. Researchers will create an oral history and develop a cross-cultural human-rights curriculum for United States and South African students. For more information: www.lib.uconn.edu/doddcenter
