African National Congress (ANC)
By Cameron Suls
Description
The ANC played a major role in the struggle against ending apartheid. They became one of the largest organizations with widespread support from several different ethnic groups. Although many of their organized protests seemed to do little effect on the demolishing of apartheid, each protest had led them closer and closer to their equality. The ANC had taken action and brought together several other anti-apartheid groups to form the Congress Alliance. A meeting of the Congress of the People took place where the Freedom Charter, created by the Congress Alliance, was approved. This document served as a constitution for South Africa and granted back their equality. Without the ANC's determination, persistence, and leadership, apartheid may not have ended when it did.
