anti-apartheid activists
Fought racial separation
Anti-apartheid activists were people who opposed South Africa's system of racial segregation and white minority rule, which lasted from 1948 to the early 1990s.
The movement included protesters, organizers, and political prisoners both within South Africa and internationally: Nelson Mandela became the world's most famous anti-apartheid activist.
Their efforts included boycotts, demonstrations, and pressure campaigns that helped end the apartheid regime.
