Friends of Africa (FOA)
Australia
Friends of Africa (FOA) formed in 1967 by two members of the New South Wales branch of the Building Workers’ Industrial Union. The group carried on the work of the Action Committee against Apartheid. The FOA was very active among trade unions and participated in campaigns of other Australian anti-apartheid groups as well. It gave direct support to the liberation movements.
The State Library of New South Wales holds a collection of their materials, comprising minutes, correspondence, mailing and membership lists, campaign materials, publications and financial records. It covers the period 1963-1972.
