4. Pan-Africanism • At its core Pan-Africanism is "a belief that African peoples, both on the continent and in the Diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny

8. How did the new government enforce this new policy? • The implementation of the policy of apartheid, later referred to as "separate development," was made possible by the Population Registration Act of 1950, which put all South Africans into three racial categories: Black, White, or Coloured (of mixed race). A fourth category, Asian (Indians and Pakistanis), was added later.

9. Apartheid-what was it? Blacks and whites did not interact with one another unless it was servant to employer. The best jobs and best education went to the white South Africans. Persons of color (both black and colored) were not allowed to hold office. In 1951, the Bantu Authorities Act assigned blacks to a homeland according to their record of origin.

10. 5. In order for a black to leave their homeland a pass book was required - like a passport. (citizens of these townships could not enter their own country without a pass book) • 6. If caught without passbooks, they could go to jail. • 7. Life was very hard for the non-whites in South Africa. • 8. Apartheid lasted from the 1920’s until 1990. • 9. Nelson Mandela lead peaceful protests against the South African government.

15. Segregated public facilities in Johannesburg, 1985.

16. Young, black South Africans looking in on a game of soccer at an all-white school in Johannesburg. Government spending, about 10 times more for white children than for black, clearly showed the inequality designed to give whites more economic and political power. Poorly trained teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate recreational facilities were normal for black children, if in fact they had any schooling available at all.

18. Young coal miners in South Africa in 1988.

19. A number of black political groups, often supported by sympathetic whites, opposed apartheid using a variety of tactics, including violence, strikes, demonstrations, and sabotage - strategies that often met with severe consequences from the government.

20. NELSON MANDELA Mandela originally believed in peaceful protest. He started to doubt that this approach would work and started up an armed branch of the ANC. He was classified as a terrorist by the S.A. gov’t and sent to prison for inciting rebellion. He was in jail for 27 years before being released in 1990 by President F. W. DeKlerk. In 1994, Mandela was elected as the first black president of South Africa. Although apartheid ended, South Africa is still struggling to improve their economy for all groups.

21. Grave of the young Black leader, Steve Biko, in King Williams Town, South Africa. Biko died while in prison in 1977. During the investigation into his death, strong evidence was presented that Biko suffered violent and inhumane treatment during his imprisonment.
