Nelson
Mandela hid out in Dennis Brutus' house while the apartheid
army searched for him. Then Dennis served hard time in jail
with Mandela and other heros of the anti-apartheid freedom struggle,
and was a member of the African National Congress.
Today, some of those same South African radicals are opposing
a lawsuit that Dennis Brutus and others have brought in U.S.
Federal Court in New York, which seeks to hold multi-billion
dollar corporations accountable for their collaboration with
apartheid and profiteering off of slave labor.
Tune in to hear South African poet and freedom fighter Dennis
Brutus, in Part One of a wide-ranging discussion with host Mitchel
Cohen, with Shaune Valezquez, on this week's Steal This Radio.
