The Carol Thompson and Bud Day papers document the struggle for the liberation of Southern Africa. A significant portion of the collection is background materials used for researching and organizing the liberation support network across the US and the world. The files also demonstrate some of the tactics used, including picketing, demonstrating, speaking, boycotting, and appearing on the media. The collection includes material on the Southern Africa Support Coalition (SASC), founded in the early 1970s by people associated with the Black Panthers, especially Michael Zinzun. SASC was one of the organizations that SARP worked with and supplied information to. The archives includes material on campaigns, many involving SASC including against Del Monte for fishing in Namibia waters, the attempt of South Africa to open a consulate in Los Angeles, and the Krugerrand. There were also campaigns in sport of the sports and cultural boycott including South African participation in the Davis Cup tennis tournament in Newport Beach and U.S. artists performing in South Africa.
