Racial segregation that existed in Africa

Real World Example

Apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa that began in 1948, but its roots were planted in earlier colonial practices. It highlighted the extreme racial inequalities and injustices, fueling nationalism and revolution as oppressed groups fought for their rights. The struggle against apartheid became a symbol of resistance against racism and inspired movements worldwide. Today, its legacy reminds us of the importance of equality and justice, influencing ongoing discussions about race and discrimination. In daily life, this means promoting fairness and understanding in schools, workplaces, and communities, ensuring everyone is treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background.
