In the case of the District Six Removals, the marginalization of non-whites caused cultural activism among them. An example of marginalization includes a quote which states, “In 1966, South Africa’s apartheid regime declared District Six a ‘whites only’ area under the notorious Group Areas Act,” (Cape Town’s District Six). Here, non-white africans were forced out of their homes because of their race. This is discrimination, a form of marginalization. An example of cultural activism includes a…

While many would argue that structural barriers would hinder our ability to act, the truth is that our agency to think and act can change our behavior no matter in what situation we are. Victor Frank survived a Nazi concentration camp with this idea. Nelson Mandela changed South African politics in a system that did not allow blacks to hold positions of power.To decide how we respond to what is external is what makes us human after all. Victor Frank said, “The world can be falling apart, but…

Nelson Mandela instigated his efforts in the fight to eliminate apartheid by joining the African National Congress. This was the oldest black political organisation in South Africa and is protuberant in its opposition to apartheid.

the world; two figures that I would like to highlight are Anne Frank and Nelson Mandela. Anne Frank was a German-born Jew who came to be known as the “human face of the Holocaust” in World War II. Ms. Frank…

Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.” During his fight against apartheid, Mandela had to pass through that valley many times in order to bring about change in South Africa. When he became South Africa’s first president, he worked to end racism in his country. His ultimate goal was for every race to experience freedom in South…

is the closest the story gets to any sort of comedic relief as the play goes on. Sam comes out immediately as a teacher figure. His first lines are teaching Willie how to ballroom dance for his competition saying things like “you’re too stiff”, “try to glide through it”, and “make it smooth”. The exposition teaches a lot about Sam and Willie. The audience doesn’t learn as much about Hally quite as quickly. He comes into the scene later; however, the things they do learn are serious. Hally is…

Bishop Tutu’s Noble Peace Prize Lecture literally screams of the Social Justice Tradition. He begins by proclaiming that because there is no justice in S. Africa, there is turmoil; there is no peace. Like Amos, Bishop Tutu’s war cry is “justice for all! And, like Amos, Bishop Tutu’s words are direct, pointed, and forceful to demonstrate “how much God cares about justice” This excerpt demonstrates the horizontal movement of loving thy neighbor. Foster describes neighbor as simply someone in need…

you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then, he becomes your partner.”-Nelson Mandela. This is one of Mandela’s best quotes, showing he just wanted peace. For most of the 20th century, South Africa was not a stable country. There was an incredible amount of racism, protests, and police responding to protesters, resulting in many injuries and deaths. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years because he was convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the state because…
