1920s South African native congress

The South African Native Congress, founded in 1912 and active in the 1920s, was an organization advocating for the rights and interests of Black South Africans under apartheid-era policies. It aimed to unify diverse Black communities, oppose racially discriminatory laws, and promote political and social reforms. During the 1920s, it laid the foundation for future resistance, emphasizing education, civil rights, and equality. While initially limited in influence, it marked the beginning of organized Black political activism in South Africa, eventually evolving into the African National Congress, a key force in the struggle against racial injustice.
