Description

Describes the violent responses to nonviolent anti-apartheid protests across university campuses in the US. At the University of Washington, “shanties were leveled and police discovered a gasoline time bomb in the rubble.” At John Hopkins, “students occupying shanties barely escaped death from a firebombing in the early hours of 24 May.” Cites a May 26, 1986 Washington Post article which says “three activists inside one of the shanties were engulfed in flames when members of Delta Upsilon fraternity poured gasoline over the wooden shack and lit it afire.” One student was left with 10% of his body covered in first and second degree burns.
