Apartheid pics



This is a picture of Steven Biko's dead body. He died in proson in King Williamstown, South Africa. After his death, he became a martyr in the eye's of black South Africans and his followers around the world.











At the end of the Apartheid, Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk worked together to diminish apartheid. For their efforts, they both won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.







On March 21, 1960, black South Africans gathered at the town of Sharpeville to riot against the carrying of identity cards. As a result, the local police killed 69 and injured 186 blacks. This event later became known as the Sharpeville Massacre.




The ANC and SACP set up the Umkhonto we Sizwe, or the Spear of the Nation. This picture shows that they would sabotage government installations.
