Transcription of The Freedom Charter 2 (1)
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
The Freedom Charter As the struggle for Freedom reached a new intensity in the early fifties, the ANC saw the need for a clear statement on the future of South Africa. The idea of a Freedom Charter was born, and the Congress of the People Campaign was initiated. During this campaign the ANC and its allies invited the whole of South Africa to record their demands so that they could be incorporated in a common document. The document would be accepted at the Congress of the People and would become the Freedom Charter . Thousands of people participated in the campaign and sent in their demands for the kind of South Africa they wished to live in. These demands found final expression in the Freedom Charter . The campaign for the Congress of the People and the Freedom Charter united most of the liberation forces in South Africa.
