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
increasing cruelty towards Africans led him to take up the cause of
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
struggled for freedom and justice. In spite of the important roles
they played in the history of southern Africa, most of these
leaders have been largely ignored by the history books. The series
tells their stories in an entertaining manner, in clear language
and aims to restore them to their rightful place in history.
