Apartheid in South Africa


Between 1948 and 1994 South Africa ran under a legal system of racial segregation called apartheid.  The rights of the non-white inhabitants, who also happened to be the majority were oppressed and dominated whereas the whites and minority continued their rule.  There were many laws prohibiting non-whites from doing a multitude of things including, not being able to marry a white person, where non-whites were allowed to live, and separation between races in all public places.
