THE FREEDOM CHARTER - Phyllis collection

The Congress of the People gathered at Kliptown, outside Johannesburg on June 25 and 26, 1955. This was a large, colourful and exciting event. In 1950, 26 June had been declared Freedom Day. In May 1950 the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) had called for a May Day strike to protest against the Unlawful Organisation Bill. The strike resulted in police violence, and the death of 18 people.
