University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Anti-Apartheid Support Group.
Biographical notes:
The Anti-Apartheid Support Group (AASG) was organized and officially recognized as a student organization at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in October 1985. From 1985 to 1987, the AASG led the campus movement against apartheid by insisting on divestiture of all University of North Carolina holdings in companies operating in South Africa. Their protests and demonstrations peaked in March and April 1986 when the group erected shanties in front of South Building. The group was dismantled shortly after the the University of North Carolina Endowment Board voted in October 1987 to divest all of its holdings in companies operating in South Africa.
