About This Lesson
This document is a series of excerpts from an essay written by Oliver Tambo, one of the pivotal figures in the African National Congress (ANC) during the 1950s and 60s. He describes how the passive resistance methods were developed and used by the ANC. The activity is for students to annotate for the answers to several questions including asking their own questions for Tambo and weighing the pros and cons of violent and non-violent protest in South Africa during Apartheid.
