Of Zulu royal blood, Dube was founder and first editor of the Zulu newspaper Ilanga lase Natal (now Ilanga), first Chairperson of the ANC, and the first black person to receive a D.Phil. (honoris causa) from a South African University. Read his petition to the British government in 1914 for greater black representation and an extract from "A Talk Upon My Native Land".
