Organization of Black
University and College
Students (NOBUCS),

million Black students
from Black colleges and
organizations, have voted
to support a massive
boycott of the Anheuser-
Busch Bud Fest scheduled
to be held in 15 cities
across the nation, begin
ning July 8.
Several artists, in
cluding Aretha Franklin,
Ray Parker Jr., Cameo,
and Frankie Beverly &
Maze, have turned down
offers to participate in
Bud Fest 1983 in support
of the boycott. The
boycott has also been en
dorsed by Black leader
ship and many
organizations and city
councils.
NOBUCS aiso warned
that Black artists or
promoters participating
in the Bud Fest would be
boycotted. In telegrams
to Anheuser-Busch
President August Busch

Although the
possibility of a Black
candidate is gaining sup
port, others, like the Ur-
Beers, along with enter
tainment centers, and
summer concerts are the
targets of this boycott.
The telegram stated
that more than one
million Black students are
aware of Anheuser-
Busch’s attempt to
“buy” the Black com
munity by sponsoring
summer festivals which
promote the company’s
products through Black
artists. Placing enter

to promote artists in the

It also states that Black
students have promised
to participate actively in
any demonstrations
called by Operation
PUSH against Bud Fest
concerts.
NOBUCS feel that
Black artists who have
agreed to participate in
Bud Fest 1983 have made
an irresponsible move in
that they are misrepresen
ting the feelings of the
Black community.
A nationwide Black
boycott of Anheuser-
Busch products and ser
vices was announced in
September, 1982. This
followed the company’s
repeated refusal to meet
with Operation PUSH to
negotiate a fair economic
relationship with the
Black community—the
same community which
constituted $660 million
of the company’s gross
profits in 1982, according
to PUSH officials.
