CivR+Apartheid

= Apartheid / Nelson Mandela = tocApartheid is an Afrikaans/Dutch word (yes, I know....unfortunately this is a Dutch word everyone knows....) which means "separateness". (Apart = separate, -heid= -ness)From 1948 till 1994 "apartheid" was the official government policy in South Africa, where black people where kept separate from the small white minority. Apartheid finally came to an end after a long struggle when Nelson Mandela became the first black prime minister in 1994. This week we will study the civil rights struggle in South Africa which ended Apartheid.
