About This Quote

The African National Congress has been in the news a lot lately, but they aren't always in the headlines. Following a bomb attack in a bar in Johannesburg in April of this year, the ANC took to the streets. The ANC protested peacefully and non-violently. What's really interesting is that they used those same weapons to fight against apartheid years ago.

So, as much as their protests have been censored, they have always been there. In terms of protesting for change, the ANC is one of the better examples of an organization making a difference.
