Walter Sisulu Square, formally known as the Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication, is located in the heart of Kliptown in Soweto, South Africa.This location was the site where, on 26 June 1955, the Congress of the People (which became the African National Congress), met to draw up the Freedom Charter, an alternative vision to the repressive policies of the apartheid state. The document emphasized a non-racial society, liberty and individual rights.
