African leaders – Thabo Mbeki of South Africa or Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria; Minister Louis

the African Congress, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples), the
Urban League, the Operation Rainbow/:PUSH, the National Action Network; better still, it could even
come from that toothless bulldog, the Organization of African Unity .
