Alex Lichtenstein, Professor of History at Indiana University, Bloomington, visited the APC on June 9-10, 2016 to do research for his book on the history of Black trade unions in South Africa. Focusing on the 1973 Durban Strikes, he consulted the Gerry Maré papers. In the aftermath of the strikes, Maré was part of a research team at University of Natal that conducted interviews with workers and employers.
