Oral Histories
When asked, "When did you first become aware there was an Anti-Apartheid movement here in Chicago?"
Funeka Sihlali responds:
"Africans are never alone somehow you get to find people - we find each other... as soon as I got here I found a lot
sophisticated activists who knew sometimes a lot about South Africa. Things I didn’t even know because of censorship."
