Was the defiance campaign viewed as a failure in 1950?

The Defiance Campaign of 1952, initiated by the African National Congress (ANC) and other groups, was not viewed as a failure in 1950, as it had not yet commenced. However, when assessed after its launch, while it did not achieve its immediate goals of abolishing apartheid laws, it succeeded in mobilizing widespread support and raising international awareness about racial injustices in South Africa. This laid the groundwork for future resistance movements against apartheid, making it a significant, albeit imperfect, milestone in the struggle for liberation.


How did black people respond to apartheid laws?

Black people in South Africa responded to apartheid laws through various forms of resistance, including protests, strikes, and the formation of political organizations like the African National Congress (ANC). Nonviolent resistance, exemplified by the Defiance Campaign in the 1950s, aimed to challenge unjust laws.
