Vilakazi expresses his gratitude to those who have been pushing Harvard to divest from South Africa. Marcus Jones reports that anti-apartheid activists are pleaded by the US Senate's override of US President Ronald Reagan's veto of sanctions against South Africa; that the activists are also pleased with Harvard's decision to divest almost $160 million of stocks and bonds from companies doing business in South Africa. V: Shots of senators on the floor of the US Senate; of a group gathered around the John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard. Footage of Dorothee Benz (Harvard student) saying that the pro-sanction movement is gaining momentum; that Harvard will be forced to divest the rest of its holdings in the future. Jones notes that student, labor, and community leaders gathered in Harvard Yard to call for a continuation of the struggle. V: Shot of a gathering of anti-apartheid activists in Harvard Yard. Susan Dynarski (Harvard student) reminds the gathering that $360 million of Harvard's endowment remains invested in apartheid; that Harvard's administrators still believe that it is possible to invest responsibly in South Africa; that investment in South Africa will not lead to change. Footage of Roderick MacDougall (Treasurer, Harvard University) saying that Harvard is taking the more difficult course of engaging in one-on-one dialogue with companies doing business in South Africa. McDougall says that most South Africans would approve of the way Harvard has chosen to divest. Jones reports that Harvard officials say that they made the decision to divest over the summer; that officials contend that the decision had nothing to do with student and alumni protests.
