  7. What have we already learned about South Africa? • In the Republic of South Africa, the economic and cultural center of this region, a white minority denied human rights to blacks until the 1980s. Blacks were forced to struggle for basic freedoms. This struggle produced a strong sense of nationalism, which inspired other countries in the region. South African "Whites Only" Train Compartment

  8. So, what is Apartheid? • For over 200 years, a white European minority controlled South Africa. The government passed many laws to keep land and wealth out of black hands. These laws, known as apartheid, affected where blacks could live and denied them basic rights of citizenship. It took over 50 years of protests and political unrest during the 1900s to finally tear down apartheid in South Africa.

He spent 27 years in prison for opposing the South African system of segregation called apartheid (a-par-tide). He negotiated an end to apartheid in 1990, and in 1994 he became the first-ever democratically elected president. He stepped down in 1999.
