- Caption
- In April of 1985, a group organized by the Coalition for a Free South Africa (CFSA) at Columbia University staged a protest to force Columbia to divest fully from corporations operating in South Africa as a response to the injustice of apartheid. Trustees of the university convened several months later and adopted the recommendations of the students, officially divesting the University's investments with South African connections.
- Description
- A striped pinback button protesting Columbia University's involvement in South African companies. The background colors, black, green, and yellow, are those of the African National Congress flag. Red text on the button reads: [APARTHEID / KILLS! / DIVEST NOW! / Columbia / OUT OF / S. AFRICA]. The manufacturer's mark appears on both the top and bottom of the button. There is a small stain on the bottom rim of the button with scratches and some etching on the metal back plate. The back of the button has a metal fastener and clasp.
