The Freedom Charter

The Freedom Charter, adopted in 1955 in South Africa, is a historic document that outlines the vision for a non-racial, democratic society. It emerged from the efforts of various anti-apartheid groups, particularly the African National Congress (ANC). The Charter emphasizes human rights, equality, and justice for all citizens, regardless of their background. Key principles include universal suffrage, equal education, and land redistribution. It serves as a foundational text for the struggle against apartheid and remains a symbol of hope for freedom and equality in South Africa and beyond.
