Walter Sisulu Square

Walter Sisulu Square, formally known as the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication, is located in the heart of Kliptown in Soweto, South Africa.
This location was the site where, on 26 June 1955, the Congress of the People (which became the African National Congress), met to draw up the Freedom Charter, an alternative vision to the repressive policies of the apartheid state. The document emphasized a non-racial society, liberty and individual rights. The Freedom Charter remains the cornerstone of African National Congress to this day and is seen by many as the foundation of South Africa's 1996 constitution.
The square has now been declared as a national heritage site. In June 2005, former President Thabo Mbeki lit a flame of freedom in Kliptown to mark the 50 years of the Freedom Charter. It is named after Walter Max Ulyate Sisulu, a political activist during the apartheid era. He was a member of African National Party and served as Secretary-General and Deputy President of the organization. He was released from prison in 1989.
The square's features include an open-air museum that explain how the Freedom Charter was written in a collaborative effort made by thousands of South Africans of all races.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southafrica.net/za/en/articles/entry/article-southafrica.net-kliptowns-open-air-museum )〕 The conical brick tower at the centre of the square is a monument to the document itself and contains the full principles of the charter engraved in bronze.
