anti-apartheid activist
Fought racial separation
An anti-apartheid activist is someone who worked to end apartheid—the system of racial segregation enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s.
Activists ranged from those engaged in civil disobedience and armed resistance within South Africa to international campaigners pushing for economic sanctions and divestment: Nelson Mandela remains the most famous anti-apartheid activist.
