#ProjectKnowYourHeritage

Project #knowyourheritage is a pilot project conceptualized and produced by the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA Media Productions). The aim of this project is to exhibit our nationally protected heritage resources in a much more tangible setting, allowing viewers to connect with the content, spaces, objects and people.
Chief Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, Africa’s first Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in 1960, was President-General of the African National Congress (ANC) from December 1952 until his death in 1967. Chief Luthuli was the most widely known and respected African leader of his era. A latecomer to politics, the Chief was 54 when he assumed the leadership of the ANC. Over the course of his political career his approach became increasingly militant. Yet, there is still no consensus about whether he approved of the ANC’s transition from a peaceful organisation into one committed to armed struggle.
