During the nineteen fifties and sixties the vast majority of former European colonies in Africa achieved their independence from their erstwhile "mother countries." Viewed continentally, this can be said to have dated from 1952, when the Free Officers Movement of Egypt ousted King Farouk and created a Republic. South of the Sahara, the first African State to achieve independence was Ghana, known as the Gold Coast during the colonial period, whose first independent Prime Minister was Kwame Nkrumah, who led his fellow Ghanaians to freedom in 1957. From 1958-1961 a spate of other territories followed suit, seeking to disengage from the rule of Britain, France, Spain and Belgium. Yet there were holdouts. The Portuguese-ruled colonies of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau, and the white-minority ruled South Africa were among exceptions to the pattern of "decolonization" which had been set in motion during 1960, "Africa year" when British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan declared that "the winds of change are blowing across the African continent." South Africa, Portugal and in 1965 the small but minerally-rich polity of Southern Rhodesia made clear their opposition to African majority rule, and showed a willingness to use violence to prevent this from occurring. While most Africans would have preferred not to have to resort to the expedient of taking up arms, the example of the bloody Algerian Revolution against French minority rule was still fresh in many minds by the early nineteen sixties. Starting in 1960, an uprising occurred in Angola against Portuguese rule. This took shape four years after the founding of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, whose Portuguese acronym was MPLA. Later on in that decade similar movements arose in Guinea-Bissau, the PAIGC, (Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde) and the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo). 1960 was also the year that the armed struggle began in earnest in South Africa, under the auspices of the African National Congress and its rival, the Pan-Africanist Congress. By 1965, with Southern Rhodesia's UDI or Unilateral Declaration of Independence, Africans seeking a voice in Rhodesian politics gravitated to the Zimbabwe African People's Union and later, its own schismatic rival, the Zimbabwe African National Union. By the late sixties, both groups would mount military wings which took to the bush to fight against Rhodesia's brutal security forces. The nineteen sixties in Southern Africa, therefore, became synonymous with the era of liberation wars or armed struggle.
The posters in this collection represent the intensity of the conflicts being
waged in those years, when combatants and their supporters weighed in for the
long haul. This exhibit represents a cross-section of politically engaged poster
art from the African Revolution. While not comprehensive, it is evocative of
the spirit of those times and the commitment of supporters of African majority
rule.

One of the greatest of modern theoreticians of the African Revolution was Amilcar Cabral, the multilingual Portuguese-trained agronomist who helped to found the PAIGC, the Party for the Independence of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde. After graduating from agronomy school he used his training to great effect by getting to know every inch of his beloved Guinea-Bissau, making intensive and detailed reconnaisances of all of the places, peoples and customs of the nation.
Cabral saw the revolution through against Portuguese minority rule in Bissau
but had his brilliant life and career cut short in 1973 when he was assassinated
at the hands of Portuguese agents. By that time he had become well known both
in and beyond Bissau and was the author of several posthumously published texts,
among the most well known of which were "Revolution in Guinea" and
"Return to the Source." Fluent in the Romance languages of French,
Spanish and Portuguese, he was less comfortable in English, and relatively few
of his writings have been translated for Anglophone audiences.

With the advent of the armed struggle, it became necessary to create alternative sources of information for both ANC cadres and the liberation support community at large. This began modestly, with printed matter and gradually came to include clandestine radio broadcasts mounted from exile. A key site from which to air programs aimed at cadres and their allies was Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where the ANC and most other liberation movements maintained their external headquarters.
This poster advertises a fundraising event intended to support Radio Freedom.
Radio Freedom was the underground radio station of the ANC. UC Berkeley's Radio
Freedom website describes the station this way: "Founded in 1967, Radio
Freedom would eventually broadcast into South Africa daily from neighboring
[or Frontline] African states." The Radio Freedom website features "selections
from broadcasts out of Lusaka Zambia, circa 1985." It further adds that
"The insurrectionary character of that period is reflected in both the
form and content of the broadcasts."

SWAPO, the South West Africa People's Organization, was the principal movement fighting for majority rule in Namibia, as the South Africa-administered territory of "Southwest Africa" was known by progressives. A German Colony from 1886-1914, it became a League of Nations Mandate in 1914 under the protection of Great Britain. By 1945, however, South West Africa/Namibia and other formed League of Nations Mandates were transformed into United Nations Trust Territories, and South West Africa was transferred to the custody of South Africa. In 1960 SWAPO was founded and soon thereafter became a home for democratic forces seeking to gain greater autonomy for Africans in matters that concerned them. Instead, the South African government extended apartheid to South West Africa, curtailing African participation in any level of self-determination. As in South Africa, reform-minded leaders were routinely harassed, detained, arrested, tortured and assassinated. By August 26, 1966, the year that the United Nations revoked South Africa's United Nations Trust, SWAPO voted to launch its own armed struggle. This poster commemorates that decision.
Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe (1924-1977) was the head of the Pan-Africanist Congress
of Azania, a group that broke away from the African National Congress in 1959.
The PAC disagreed philosophically with the ANC over several key issues. These
ranged from the centrality of Africans in the fight for freedom, to the time
and method whereby the armed struggle or liberation war would be undertaken.
The nature and content of these debates was intense and complex, and they have
yet to be resolved. "Africanism," as the PAC's position is frequently
characterized, is one of the core constituents of black consciousness, the focus
of the work of the martyred Steve Biko. Sobukwe and his organization occupied
separate terrain from that of the ANC and are often described inaccurately as
a minor current in the South African liberation struggle. The PAC continues
to exist as a political organization which has made inroads in the Eastern and
Western Cape by fielding candidates such as the charismatic Patricia De Lille,
a mixed-race politician representing a vibrant constituency. This has marked
a kind of PAC renaissance. The domestic conflict between the PAC and the ANC
inevitably became wrapped up in the Cold War combat between the Soviet Union
and the United States. This and a number of dramatic mistakes by some of its
other leading figures such as the late flamboyant Potlako Leballo, left them
open to criticism by ANC leaders. The quality of the paper on which this poster
was made is clearly not comparable to the superior materials typical of ANC
posters makes this piece far more fragile.

FESTAC stands for Festival of African Arts and Culture. This arose as part of a larger trend of festivals linking African and African-Derived Peoples in the African Diaspora through international meetings that explored politics and the arts within a larger context mixing education and entertainment. The second FESTAC occurred in Nigeria in 1977. This poster was provided by the artist, Babatunde Folayemi who lived in Tanzania at the same time as David Anthony.
This poster commemorates the twenty-second anniversary of the August 9, 1956 women's protest against the pass system led by 20,000 ANC Women's League in Pretoria. The vernacular slogan of this multi-ethnic, multi-racial gathering was "Wanti'nt'abafazi Wathi'nti'mbokodo...uzakufa" meaning, "You have touched the women, you have dislodged a bolder, you will be crushed" or, as it is also often translated, "When you strike the women, you have struck a rock!" This major event has been celebrated annually thereafter, with rallies, symposia and meetings of every kind throughout South Africa. The tradition remains strong today.
Worldwide demands for the release of Nelson R. Mandela from imprisonment began to shape following the infamous Rivonia Treason Trial of 1963. As time went on and an international anti-apartheid movement grew, demands for Mandela's release, and all the scores of freedom fighters imprisoned by the South African apartheid regime became hallmarks of the global anti-apartheid movement from the nineteen sixties through his actual release in 1990. Initially Mandela, along with both rank and file and leadership cadres from the ANC, PAC, NEUM (Non-European Unity Movement) SACP (South African Communist Party) and other anti-apartheid activists, affiliated and unaffiliated were held in Robben Island now a museum. Mandela and other key leaders were transferred to Pollsmoor Prison in 1982. On 31 January 1985 the State President of South Africa, P W Botha, speaking in parliament, offered Mandela his freedom on condition that he 'unconditionally rejected violence as a political weapon'. This was the sixth such offer, earlier ones stipulating that he accept exile in the Transkei. His daughter Zinzi read Mandela's reply to this offer to a mass meeting in Jabulani Stadium, Soweto, on 10 February, 1985. This was the text of his response as read publicly by Zinzi:
I am a member of the African National Congress. I have always been a member
of the African National Congress and I will remain a member of the African National
Congress until the day I die. Oliver Tambo is much more than a brother to me.
He is my greatest friend and comrade for nearly fifty years. If there is any
one amongst you who cherishes my freedom, Oliver Tambo cherishes it more, and
I know that he would give his life to see me free. There is no difference between
his views and mine.
I am surprised at the conditions that the government wants to impose on me.
I am not a violent man. My colleagues and I wrote in 1952 to Malan asking for
a round table conference to find a solution to the problems of our country,
but that was ignored. When Strijdom was in power, we made the same offer. Again
it was ignored. When Verwoerd was in power we asked for a national convention
for all the people in South Africa to decide on their future. This, too, was
in vain.
It was only then, when all other forms of resistance were no longer open to
us, that we turned to armed struggle. Let Botha show that he is different to
Malan, Strijdom and Verwoerd. Let him renounce violence. Let him say that he
will dismantle apartheid. Let him unban the people's organisation, the African
National Congress. Let him free all who have been imprisoned, banished or exiled
for their opposition to apartheid. Let him guarantee free political activity
so that people may decide who will govern them.
I cherish my own freedom dearly, but I care even more for your freedom. Too
many have died since I went to prison. Too many have suffered for the love of
freedom. I owe it to their widows, to their orphans, to their mothers and to
their fathers who have grieved and wept for them. Not only I have suffered during
these long, lonely, wasted years. I am not less life-loving than you are. But
I cannot sell my birthright, nor am I prepared to sell the birthright of the
people to be free. I am in prison as the representative of the people and of
your organisation, the African National Congress, which was banned.
What freedom am I being offered while the organisation of the people remains
banned? What freedom am I being offered when I may be arrested on a pass offence?
What freedom am I being offered to live my life as a family with my dear wife
who remains in banishment in Brandfort? What freedom am I being offered when
I must ask for permission to live in an urban area? What freedom am I being
offered when I need a stamp in my pass to seek work? What freedom am I being
offered when my very South African citizenship is not respected?
Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Herman Toivo
ja Toivo, when freed, never gave any undertaking, nor was he called upon to
do so. I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I and you,
the people, are not free.Your freedom and mine cannot be separated. I will return.
It was his final destination as a prisoner before his release by F. W. de Klerk.
By 1990, de Klerk was careful to make certain that Mandela's freedom would be
unconditional. The following McHenry sources help us to further understand Mandela:

This poster commemorates the life and martyrdom in police custody of Bantu Stephen Biko (1946-1977). Biko, born in the Eastern Cape following the end of World War Two, founder and principal theoretician of the Black Consciousness Movement, sought to find an intermediate path that would bridge the gaps between the rival liberation movements the ANC and PAC while also integrating insights gleaned from the diasporic North American Civil Rights and Black Power Movements from the 1950's, sixties and seventies. Since both PAC and ANC were banned and therefore forced to operate clandestinely, with internal and external political and military wings, Biko intended for his BCM to fill what he perceived as a local vacuum. A widely traveled and highly respected leader, Biko was murdered while detained by the South African police in October 1977. The photograph was taken during his funeral. His legacy survives in books published posthumously, "Biko" by Donald Woods (later the motion picture "Cry Freedom" starring Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline, "I Write What I like" (edited by Aelred Stubbs) and "Steve Biko: Black Consciousness in South Africa," (Millard Arnold, editor) as well as famous song written and performed by Peter Gabriel and the 1987 Filmmaker's Library documentary "Biko: Breaking the Silence." Most importantly, his memory lives on in the work of people who remain dedicated to constructing a non-racialist, democratic New South Africa. His KingWilliamsTown house is now a museum.

Synopsis: A documentary by one of South Africa's pioneering Black film makers
on the the life and times of Nelson Mandela and his role in the struggle against
apartheid.
This refers to the work of OMA (Organização de Mulheres Angolanas),
the Organization of Angolan Women. While material on this MPLA grouping is hard
to come by in English, Paolo Jorge, former director of MPLA's Department of
Information and Propaganda (DIP) gave this description of OMA in 1973:
As for Angolan women, they are playing a very great role...and not only on
the action committees. In all activities, all aspects of our revolution, women
are present. They not only direct the activities of OMA, the Angolan Women's
Organization, but are working in the educational field as teachers, in our Medical
Assistance Services as doctors and nurses, in logistics and transport as carriers,
in the preparation of clothing and uniforms, and in the military field as guerrillas,
taking part in attacks and ambushes against the Portuguese forces. We are even
trying to increase the participation of women in the military aspect, as their
participation in this area is not yet great enough; and also in the area of
leadership, though at present we have several women on the Comité Director.
Finally, in OMA they are able to provide leadership to our Angolan women, to
mobilize and organize the women in our villages and towns to play an increasing
number of important roles in the liberation struggle. Recently the OMA held
a number of seminars in order to analyze how the women could participate better
and the preparation and training they needed in order to put them on an equal
footing with the men---according to the MPLA principle of struggling for the
full emancipation of Angolan women.

Jorge "Domingo" Rebelo Chikoty, a militant cadre, seasoned combatant and major ideologue in FRELIMO, the Mozambique Liberation Front, later Minister of Information (1975-1980), became the subject of two major cabinet reshufflings in April 1980, when he and former Minster of Planning and Development Marcellino dos Santos were reassigned by President Samora Machel to stamp out corruption.
In 1982, Major General Rebelo became a member of the Political Bureau, Frelimo Central Committee, Secretary for Ideological Organization and First Secretary of the Maputo Committee. In 1983 in addition to the Political Bureau he became part of the new Party Secretariat. On 30 July 1989 at the Frelimo Congress he was named to the Central Committee Secretariat and the Political Bureau. On August 30, 1991, as outgoing member of the political commission Rebelo became deputy foreign minister. On 7 May 1999 he was renamed deputy foreign affairs minister.
The Information Ministry was abolished in 1994. By 2000 Rebelo, who once backed
a highly restrictive government press policy did not advocate restoring it,
but rather expressed satisfaction that greater journalistic freedom then prevailed.
