#luthuli

Lutuli was banned from gatherings due to “inciting hatred between racial groups” as his number of followers grew both in Africans and Afrikaans. He was also restrained to a 15 mile radius for his home- that being lifted and inplaced on multiple occasions- and while he grew older on a select few by the police were actually able to see him. He ended up dying due to being hit by a train- something many people find suspicious

In 1945, Lutili began his shift into the political field by joining ANC. After 1946 when police were crushing a strike of African miners at the cost of eight lives and nearly a thousand injured, Lutuli started protesting and left the goverment council in order to continue protesting. He toured the United states in 1948 talking about what’s going on in South Africa and talked to Christians about the test of faith in Africa with the racial discrimination.

December 1956 Luthuli and 155 others were taken and charged with high treason but the long trial was unable to prove that he was working with the communist regiem. The way Lutuli held himself though gave people who were able- a better glimpse of what was happening. Impressing many international bodies.
