NAACP TO MEET WITH ANC LEADERS

A high-level leadership delegation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People leaves today on an official visit to South Africa.

The delegation, led by Executive Director Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. and Board Chairman William F. Gibson, will spend five days in South Africa at the

invitation of Nelson Mandela, president of the African National Congress.

This is the first visit of a leadership delegation of the NAACP to South Africa in the 85-year history of America's largest and oldest civil and human rights organization.
