South Africa: Overcoming Apartheid, Building Democracy
South Africa: Overcoming Apartheid, Building Democracy is an online archive of a collection of first-hand accounts of this important political movement. Interviews with South African activists, raw video footage documenting mass resistance and police repression, historical documents, rare photographs, and original narratives tell this remarkable story.
Eight narrative units arranged chronologically form the backbone of this site:
Unit 1: Introduction
Unit 2: Colonialism and Segregation: The Origins of Apartheid
Unit 3: The Rise of Apartheid
Unit 4: Protest and Resistance through the Rivonia Trial (1964)
Unit 5: Reigniting the Struggle - The 1970s through the Release of Nelson Mandela
Unit 6: The End of Apartheid and the Birth of Democracy
Unit 7: Exploring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Unit 8: Building Democracy After Apartheid
Units 3 through 7 contain the greatest wealth of material, focusing on apartheid (Unit 3), the struggle against apartheid (Units 4 and 5), negotiations (Unit 6), and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (Unit 7).
