The story of Nelson Mandela's and the African National Congress'
triumph over Apartheid in South Africa is well known. All but
forgotten are the African leaders who spoke against the system of
white rule in its infancy. The founders of the ANC were members of
the Natives Representative Council, a legislative adjunct of South
African Parliament elected by Africans between 1937 and 1950, when
the Council was abolished. Their speeches during Council sessions
document their eloquence and quiet dignity when facing their
oppressors, who used the speeches to make aspects of Apartheid more
acceptable. In November 1946, the Council sent its Freedom
Resolution to the UN, stating they would no longer cooperate with
the South African government unless Africans were given complete
equality and segregation was abolished. The speeches of the NRC are
published here for the first time, along with discussion of the
Council's elections, its members and the white government who used
the NRC's rhetoric to its own ends.
