Sullivan shifts from inside pressure to outright boycott call
The Rev. Leon Sullivan, once hopeful American firms could change South Africa from within, now urges a nine month pullout of about 199 U.S. corporations, a break in diplomatic ties, and a global quarantine until black rights are secured.
