Biografie 📅 25 Maart 1961 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The conference brought together about 1,400 delegates from religious, cultural, peasant, intellectual, and political bodies. It called for a national convention of elected representatives. Mandela was elected secretary of its National Action Council during the two-day meeting. This broad assembly shows how anti-apartheid politics involved many constituencies and demanded representative government, beyond the better-known party leadership.
