Forward to Freedom
Strategy, Tactics and Programme of the African National Congress
An original ANC exile-era pamphlet preserving the movement’s strategy and political programme following the historic Morogoro Conference.

Why this book matters
Published while the African National Congress operated in exile, Forward to Freedom is a direct documentary artifact of the anti-apartheid liberation struggle. Its strategy text emerged from the ANC’s 1969 Morogoro Conference, and the pamphlet’s production in Tanzania and the former East Germany reflects the international networks that sustained the movement.
Why this copy
This copy’s documented Lorne Bair provenance complements an unusually direct primary-source publication from the ANC’s years in exile.
