Apartheid

Apartheid began in South Africa in 1948 by the Dutch, it was legal segregation of the native blacks and Indians from India from the whites. It lasted until 1994. The government segregated education, medical care, beaches, and other public places. The 'minorities' (Blacks, Indians) were only allowed to work certian jobs for incredably low wadges. The government told them what they could do and where they were allowed to go. Protests began in South Africa over Apartheid, one of the main leaders for these protests was Nelson Mandela, who spnt 27 years in prison as a political prisoner, where most of his time served was on Robben Island. After the negociations to end Apartheid in 1994 happened Nelson Mandela became the president of South Africa in the new democratic elections.
