“Indeed the challenge is for us to insure the world from self-destruction. In our contribution to peace we are resolved to end such evils as oppression, white supremacy and race discrimination, all of which are incompatible with world peace and security. There is indeed a threat to peace.” Chief of his tribe and president-general of the African National Congress, Albert Lutuli was the leader of ten million black Africans in their nonviolent campaign for civil rights in South Africa. A man of noble bearing, charitable, intolerant of hatred, and adamant in his demands for equality and peace among all people, Lutuli forged a philosophical compatibility between two cultures – the Zulu culture of his native Africa and the Christian-democratic culture of Europe. Albert Lutuli was awarded the 1960 peace prize “for his non-violent struggle against apartheid.” Read more about this remarkable laureate by clicking the link in bio.
