Albert Luthuli
Chief Albert Luthuli was a prominent South African anti-apartheid activist and the first African recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in 1960 for his leadership in the African National Congress (ANC) and his commitment to non-violent resistance against racial oppression. His death in 1967 was officially ruled an accident, but many have long suspected foul play, leading to a recent court's decision to reopen the inquest into the circumstances surrounding his demise.
