anti-apartheid
Opposing racial separation
Anti-apartheid describes opposition to apartheid—the system of racial segregation enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s.
The term typically modifies nouns describing resistance: anti-apartheid movement, anti-apartheid activist, anti-apartheid sanctions.
Nelson Mandela became the world's most famous anti-apartheid figure.
