South Africa – Freedom Month – Fatima Meer – Fatima’s political activism started early. In 1944, when she was 16 years old and a student of Durban Indian Girls High School, she helped raise £1000 for famine relief in Bengal. Though short and petite, Meer became a powerful public figure. She was poised, intelligent, quick-witted, intense, strong willed and energetic. In 1946 Fatima, like thousands of Indian people, was swept up by the 1946 Indian Passive Resistance Campaign, which was the most dramatic show of militant anti-government action in South African history.
