History

Historical Context

The anti-apartheid movement in South Africa gained momentum in the 1980s, culminating in 1989 when over 1 million people protested globally against racial segregation. This activism laid the groundwork for the eventual end of apartheid, leading to negotiations in 1990 and the first multiracial elections in 1994. Today's pro-Palestine protests reflect this legacy of grassroots activism for human rights.
