Lutuli: Let’s RISE!
Gov: Nah
Lutili: *Banned to isolation*
Lutuli: *Banned from publishing*
Lutuli: *Banned from gatherings*
Gov: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
.
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

Lutuli: *looking at South Africa* So she’s a bit of a fixer upper- that’s a minor thing
Natives Representative Council: *at every organization Luthuli is apart of* Her cloak engagement is a flex arrangement
Luthuli: 👀And by the way- I don’t need no ring
.
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.

Anc: *Sad*
Luthuli: *Burning Pass* What’s wrong babe?
.
While president of the ANC, Albert Luthuli witnissed the Sharpeville Massacer where over 250 Africans demostrating were wounded or killed in 1960. Luthuli called for a national mourning. He paid a fine for burning his pass for the cause- being too ill to actualy serve the police sentence. This event sparked a lot more anger in the African community and the protests became more common. Throughout it all though, Luthuli remained on the side of non-violence.

Gov: wait wait wait stop stop this doesn’t make sense. this don’t make any sense- wait. Hol up. who are you?
Communism: *pointing @ Lutuli* I am you
Lutuli: What- I am Me
Communism: No sir you are you
Lutuli: Wait-
Gove: I dunno
Communism: 2 is 2.
.
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.

Gov: *@ Lutuli* You? Having power??
Lutuli: Duh. Check my resume.
Gov: ....L e a v e
Lutuli: Nah
Gov: 🤡🤡🤡

“the government demanded that he resign from the ANC or from chieftainship. He refused to do either, stating, “The road to freedom is via the cross.” The government deposed him. Not only did he continue to be affectionately regarded as “chief, ” but his reputation spread. In that same year, 1952, the ANC elected him president general.” -Britannica
He was a major shaker and around this time he was really stepping into higher power. This was just the start of his changes in society that he will make and he managed to influence so many more in not giving us. He went to the U.S. for a few years and found so many people willing to help.
