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. But Dube's wife, Nokutela, many say, was just as important to the birth of the movement, and a new documentary sets out to prove it. "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
