Kenneth Walker, an Emmy Award-winning journalist whose reporting for the ABC News program “Nightline” helped bring the brutality of South Africa’s racist apartheid system to the attention of the American public, propelling it onto the agenda of U.S. policymakers, died on April 11 in Washington. He was 73.
His cousin and executor, Jeff Brown, said his death, in a hospital, was caused by a heart attack. It was not widely reported at the time.
