Out of this campaign came the famous Sullivan Principles. U.S.-based companies agreed not to engage in racial segregation and separation in their South African branches. The Sullivan Principles were an important milestone on the road to majority rule in that nation. And Rev. Sullivan also called upon the apartheid regime to release Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nelson Mandela.

Let me get this straight. SA was helped on it’s merry way by the Sullivan Principles, and world wide government intervention in something many of them may not have been entirely aware of and were nevertheless sticking their noses where they didn’t belong, causing an early end to a situation that kept SA somewhat a sane place to live. Color me somewhat skeptical. The end of apartheid was not the utopia dreamed of.

-——The Sullivan Principles-—

Over the long term are destroying South Africa. The meddlers here are out of their league with what is at base a fund raising effort.
