Apartheid
By: Christian Thomas
Racial segregation
The national party took over Africa to gain power in 1948. They banned mixed marriages in 1950. Also, between 1961 and 1994 Africans were moved from their homes so the land can be sold to European farmers. The colored and non-colored were separated so they could not live near each other. The Native Act made all Black Africans carry Identification with them at all times.
