Unpacking Apartheid in South Africa - Part 1

Living in South Africa has allowed us to explore Apartheid and understand what racism looks like in a country other than The United States. In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Niki interviews a close family friend, Al, a white South African male who grew up during Apartheid.

In this episode, Al describes the roots of Apartheid and how the South African government rationalized the policy. Then, Jack and Niki reflect on the conversation with Thom and Emma. How do two 12-year olds view racism? How will Al's experiences influence our reaction to racism, and what do we get out of studying the uglier parts of history?

These are many of the questions we're exploring on our journey to being good citizens in a modern world.
