Aparthied
What was the Aparthied?
The Apartheid is all the segregation that was going on. Segregation is separation of the whites and blacks. Not only were they separated but, Whites had all the power and ruled the black Africans. The Blacks had no say in what they wanted, they didn't have nice things and nice houses. The whites got the better of everything. Blacks wanted a change and tried to stop the whites from what they were doing and protested, they wanted all the rights to be equal.
