Protests will accompany Mandela's visit to Miami
Welcome to our team...we're up to your game.
MIAMI - Nelson Mandela's planned visit here has aggravated tension in this racially divided community, as Cuban-Americans protest his stand on Fidel Castro and Blacks rally to his support.
The Associated Press
Black radio talk shows yesterday called for demonstrations to rival the protests called for by Cuban-American radio programs outside the Miami Beach labor convention Mandela is to address tomorrow.
Mandela's visit was welcomed until a nationally televised interview last week when he defended his support for Cuban leader Fidel Castro, Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat and other leaders. Mandela said those leaders had supported the African National Congress in the early years of its struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
Miami, with its large Cuban-
American population, immediately withdrew a planned proclamation in Mandela's honor. Five Miami-area mayors, all CubanAmericans, criticized Mandela for being insensitive to human rights in Cuba.
"We, Cuban Americans, find it beyond reasonable comprehension that Mr. Nelson Mandela, a victim of oppression by his own government, not only fails to condemn the Cuban refugees in their country but rather praises virtues of the tyrannical Castro regime," their statement said.
Mayors Xavier Suarez of Miami, Julio Martinez of Hialeah, Pedro Reboredo of West Miami, Jose Riveir of Sweetwater and Gilda Olivers of Hialeah Gardens signed the declaration.
Yesterday, Mayor Alex Daund of Miami Beach, where Mandela is to address the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees convention, also criticized Mandela over his praise for Ghadhafi and Arafat.
The mayors' statements angered Black leaders, and Black-oriented radio stations yesterday called for Mandela supporters to turn out in support of the Black South African leader.
"We look like a bunch of stupid clowns around this country and around the world for not knowing who it is that is coming here, and how he ought to be treated," said Johnne McMillian, head of the Miami-Dade chapter of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People.
Callers to Cuban-oriented talk shows were almost unanimous in condemning Mandela. Callers to Black-oriented stations were particularly angry with Suarez, who enjoyed widespread Black voter support in his two election victories.
Mandela addresses Congress
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Nelson Mandela stood before Congress yesterday where no Black from the United States had ever stood — not Frederick Douglass, not Booker T. Washington, not W.E.B. DuBois, not Martin Luther King
His arms raised in triumph from the podium in the House of Representatives, the deputy president of the African National Congress became the third heroic figure to address a joint meeting in these revolutionary times.
Lech Walaes, a plumber from Poland; Vascal Havel, a president-playwright from Czechoslovakia; and now the 71-year-old Mandela, a prisoner for 27 years in South Africa.
Mandela is a representative of a struggle, he pointedly made clear, that is not over.
A dedicated revolutionary who will not renounce the use of arms, he craftly reminded his audience of
American blood that had been shed in the cause of freedom, using words known to every schoolchild and every member of Congress.
"Equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," he said, "are fundamental human rights which are not only inalienable but must, if necessary, be defended with the weapons of war."
This was said by an erect, trim, tidy, calm man in a soft, lifting South African English that made his audience strain to hear.
Before him sat Washington: the house, the Senate, the Cabinet, military men led by a Black general, Colin Powell, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff; the diplomatic corps, including one Black African ambassador in a sweeping white robe.
Often, when dignitaries visit, members of Congress find other demands more pressing and the seats are filled by staff. Not this time.
