Dennis Brutus
United States of America
Mr Dennis Brutus was a South Africa activist against apartheid in the 1960s. He worked to get South Africa suspended from the Olympics; this eventually led to the country’s expulsion from the games in 1970. He had to leave South Africa in 1983 and went to work and live in the USA. He was president of the South African Non-Racial Olympic Committee (SAN-ROC).
Borthwick Institute of Historical Research at the University of York holds a substantial archive covering the period 1958-1972. It contains poems, correspondence, minutes, IDAF documents, AAM papers and SAN-ROC documents.
