The Ed Ferguson Oregon Anti-Apartheid Scrapbook documents the
protest and educational campaign led by the OSU African Students’
Association in response to OSU wrestling coach Dale Thomas’ association
with the South African wrestling community. Ed Ferguson, a specialist
in African history, was a faculty member in the History Department at
from 1979 to 1991. He was also the faculty advisor to the ASA.
The scrapbook consists of newspaper clippings and other related materials
assembled by Ferguson. The clippings are primarily from OSU’s The Daily
Barometer and the local Corvallis Gazette-Times. The scrapbook also
includes items from the Oregonian and newspapers published in Salem,
Eugene, Roseburg, Redmond, Prineville, and John Day.
