SNAPshot a day: freedom

During the time of apartheid, on 26 June 1955, over 3,000 people of resistance organizations made their way to Kliptown, Soweto to draw up a Freedom Charter. This Freedom Charter was to be an alternative to the repressive laws of the apartheid state.

A memorial of the Freedom Charter can be found at the Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown.
