"As someone who was active in the struggle against apartheid inside South Africa and later for two decades in the U.S., I believe it is extremely important that the history of the solidarity movement be documented."
— Dumisani S. Kumalo, South African Ambassador to the UN, letter to David Wiley, 20 December 2002.
