National Union of South African Students (NUSAS)

The National Union of South African Students (NUSAS) was a prominent student organization in South Africa, established in 1924. It primarily represented students from white, liberal, and progressive backgrounds advocating for educational reform and social justice. NUSAS opposed racial discrimination and segregation policies, promoting equality and anti-apartheid ideals. Over time, it became a platform for political activism and collaboration with anti-apartheid movements. The organization played a significant role in shaping student resistance against racial injustice during the apartheid era, advocating for human rights and social change through peaceful and organized student efforts.
