Your own link talks about how the drink was boycotted across campuses.

But you can't bring up the Apartheid and not dig through a huge history of companies, countries and people explicity or implicitly supporting it.

Doesn't justify anything of course but Coca-Cola wasn't the only company doing it

Didn't change much.

That's my point, though. Plenty of companies have engaged in abhorrent acts, with little meaningful consequences to them. The market is not good at solving these types of problems.
