Thesis Statement: The white European minority of South Africa during the later half of the 20th century abused their power and responsibility to govern the black majority of South Africa justly by stripping away the basic civil rights of the black majority in formal segregation.

It goes to show that every aspect of their life had to do with the apartheid policy, and they were surrounded by discrimination and division by racial status.

Document URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mandela/interviews/deklerk.html Annotation: In this interview with F.W. De Clerk, who was South Africas president from 1989-1994, talks on his establishment of a relationship with Mandela, and his plans at the time to release Mandela from prison. He also gives an insight on the white government view of the policy, and how they found black revolutionaries dangerous, and that it was only the course of the law to put the leaders in prison. He states that the government was working on a peaceful transition away from apartheid laws. A quote was used in the Nelson Mandela section of my website. Henley, William Ernest. Invictus [I. M.

He starts the speech by saluting and thanking members of anti-apartheid organizations that worked on his release of jail, and

later goes on to motivate the victims of the apartheid to keep fighting for their freedom because the path to democracy is irreversible. At the end, he explains that he does not want white dominance, nor black dominance, but a society in which all races live in harmony and with equal opportunities and rights.

His plan is to make the government impossible, and although the police are looking for him, he will not surrender to a foreign government. Nelson Mandela was the spokesperson/leader of the African National Congress and their movement against apartheid policy laws in South Africa, so this source is credible.

The Registration Act of 1950 explains the registration process for Europeans, Coloureds, and natives, in which they are identified by race and given an identity number. The rules for registration clearly show the strictness of the apartheid policy, and the definite division of racial groups. It helped me to see how the government was handling the separating of the races, and how each individual was identified. This was used in my Segregation & Discrimination section of my website.

Document URL: http://worldhistory.abc-clio.com/Search/Display/421439?terms=south+africa+apartheid Annotation: In this image, two black Africans walk by a sign that says, Caution Beware of Natives, and it truly shows the racism that was occurring during this time period. The image was a powerful one that makes the viewer really feel what the blacks that were being discriminated against felt. It will definitely be used as one of the images on my board.

Web. 16 October 2013 Document URL: http://www.anc.org.za/show.php?id=5670&t=British Anti-Apartheid Movement Annotation: This poem puts a different perspective from the victims of apartheid in which the poet states that she doesnt want to be put through these actions because the white people pity her. It also foreshadowed some type of action against the government as it emphasizes the want for freedom and that one day her brothers will boycott because they want liberation from apartheid. This poem was cited on the Popular Media page of my site. "Segregated stands in a South African sports arena." Image. Corel. World History: The Modern Era. ABC-CLIO, 2013. Web. 9 Oct. 2013.

It shows that even at a popular place for entertainment where fans of sports are supposed to rally together, there is still a division between the two races. This was used in one of the slideshows.

Document URL: http://www.disa.ukzn.ac.za/index.php?option=com_displaydc&recordID=poe00000000.0 32.009.796a Annotation: In this poem by Phahane Selelekelo, the point of view of most Africans is shown through a simple poem that describes the peacefulness before the arrival of the Europeans, and then the hate they felt once the white people came and ordered apartheid. It is a different perspective because a poem is more of a descriptive art that represents the regular people of South Africa. This was cited in the Popular Media section. "Sharpeville massacre."

Document URL: http://0-worldhistory.abcclio.com.ilsweb.lvccld.org/Search/Display/333854?terms=south+africa+apartheid Annotation: This image is the aftermath of the bloody Sharpeville massacre, when police officers openly fired on a group protesting apartheid rule. It shows the violence and assertiveness of power against black Africans during this time, especially when the protest was a peaceful one. It also shows the limited voice and say they had in their government and how it was run. This will be an effective image to use that really captures the idea of apartheid during this time period.

This is an image of a sign in South Africa that states Nonwhite Shop and then goes on to list the act/law that is the reason for having a nonwhite shope. I found this image interesting because it seems like the government felt the need to justify apartheid and separation/division with laws that they passed and that the laws were displayed on signs.

The speaker discusses the Nelson Mandela trial and how Mandela may be charged with the death penalty when he made a peaceful protest, and how the laws are being altered and manipulated so that there is little preparation time before a trial and so that it is nearly impossible to escape a conviction.

In this speech of 1984, Tutu emphasizes the separation/division of the white population from the black population by revealing accounts of racial mistreatment (child shooting, women mistreatment, inferior education, etc.). It is finished by saying that the black population simply wants freedom through peace. A quote was used in the Home section. Union of South Africa Government: Group Areas Act No. 41, 1950.

http://www.disa.ukzn.ac.za/index.php?option=com_displaydc&recordID=leg19500707.0 28.020.041 Annotation: The Group Areas Act of 1950 divided non-whites and whites into different residential and business areas based on their race. It also stated the non-whites were not allowed to own or run businesses in white areas, or else severe punishments were implied. Overall, the Group Areas Act was designed to further segregation and also to keep non-whites from being in highly developed white areas.

Document URL: http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1953geyer.asp Annotation: In this speech, given by a member of the Rotary Club, the speaker makes an argument supporting apartheid in which he outlines the reasons why apartheid is acceptable and preferable: both White Africans and Bantus were colonists to the area, whites in the area are outnumbered, and the best route for the future is self-preservation in which the separate races develop individually. This gave me an outlook on an argument against my argument so that I could see the perspective from another side. United Nations Photo. United Nations Photo: subject: Apartheid UN News & Media Photo.

Annotations: The National Colour Policy was issued in 1948 and it officially implemented the apartheid policy. It starts by outlining the two schools of thought, equality and apartheid, but explains that apartheid is necessary in order to keep the European race in South Africa continue, and later explains that apartheid would also allow each of the races to develop and guide his own national character. This was basically the guideline/outline of the apartheid in South Africa, so it was very helpful to me because it explained exactly what the law stated when apartheid was officially implemented.

Not only are blacks being segregated, but there is a division among whites that may not be written officially, but is visible: the separation of the English-speaking and the Afrikaans. This separation is seen in schools (each school is taught a different way of lifefor the most part English-speaking whites are part of the United Party and Afrikaans are Nationalists) and even hospitals. It wasnt of much use to me, but it gave me another outlook on the situation in South Africa. 1978: Apartheid Year. Cape Town: Leaflet Bombs, December 1977. African National Congress.

It stated the economic depression was ahead if things continue, that students should fight for a free education that is beneficial to themselves, and for women to fight for no sex discrimination and sexism. It ended by saying that victory was guaranteed if enough people rallied behind the ANC. This was used in the Leaflets & Posters section on my site.

It gave me an idea of what apartheid in South Africa was about and gave me background knowledge on my subject, so that when I was conducting my other research, I was able to pinpoint connections between primary source documents and events that took place.

The movement focused more on how apartheid was negatively affecting the native culture, and also forms of literatures with messages to convey purely to the black audience. It shows another example of ways that groups of victims of apartheid found motivation to fight against the policy and unite together, while enriching their culture and heritage. Lowe, Chris.

Document URL: http://exploringafrica.matrix.msu.edu/students/curriculum/m10/tribalism_essay.html Annotation: I read a specific part of this essay, which was about the Zulus in South Africa. The author basically described the effects of the ruling power (the white Europeans) on using the

Amy Bilodeau October 18, 2013 Period 7

word tribe to describe this group of people. Not only is the use of the word tribe inaccurate (the Zulu tribe is composed of hundreds of tribes), but it also takes effect on the sense of identity that the Zulus posses and also the usage of the word tribe shows a clear dominance of white Europeans in South African society.
