Last night UAO Executive Director Alie Kabba interviewed Funeka Sihlali, a South African who has been living in Chicago in the 1970s. In this fascinating interview, Funeka talks about how she left South Africa due, in part, to her involvement in protests as a nursing student. She speaks about the solidarity she found among the African-American community in Chicago, and the role African-Americans played in the struggle against apartheid. She also talks about the African National Congress' centenary celebrations this weekend and events planned throughout the year to celebrate its 100th birthday.
