Albert Luthuli grew up in the small KwaZulu-Natal settlement of
Groutville and became a teacher. As a young man, he was not
particularly interested in politics, but the government's

his people. He eventually became a national political leader and,
in 1952, was elected President of the African National Congress
(ANC). He headed an executive committee that included such great
leaders as Mandela, Tambo and Sisulu. He led many campaigns against
the apartheid system and won the love and respect of ordinary South
Africans. In 1961, Chief Luthuli became known around the world as
the first South African to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his
devotion to achieving freedom by peaceful means. They Fought for
Freedom tells the life stories of southern African leaders who

they played in the history of southern Africa, most of these
leaders have been largely ignored by the history books. The series

and aims to restore them to their rightful place in history.

she experienced. She soon realized that the only way to survive was
to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This

determination can overcome adversity.
