In South Africa, the African National Congress, or ANC, is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding. The once-banned ANC led the struggle that finally ended apartheid white-minority rule in 1994, when elections ushered in a multiracial democracy. Participants in the weekend festivities included the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Rev. Jesse Jackson: “So, the whole world said, 'No to apartheid.' South Africa’s greatest strength, frankly, was not its resources of gold and diamonds, but its moral authority. South Africa convinced the world to end a regime that was inhumane. And now we see South Africa on the growth curve.”
