Who Was Nokutela Dube?
In 1912, South Africa's black political leaders and tribal chiefs got together to form the ANC, the African National Congress. The person most associated with that founding is South African writer, educator, and politician John Dube.

"Nokutela is the poster child for the marginalization of women in South African history," says the documentary's producer (story, video, link to audio version): http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-05-08/her-contributions-south-africa-were-unknown-new-film-aims-change
