This educational website provides primary source materials, newly-written narrative, and curriculum ideas for teaching high school and undergraduate students about the many generations who struggled to end apartheid and build democracy in South Africa.
Interviews with more than 60 people bring this history alive. Many important oral history projects are being undertaken in South Africa, but few are online. This website’s 40 hours of interviews – and 120 segments created from them – are a unique historical resource for anyone who cares about people determined to become free from oppression. We are particularly grateful to the people who agreed to be interviewed for telling their personal stories about the struggle against apartheid.
Creating this online curricular resource continues a long-standing interest in South Africa at Michigan State University’s African Studies Center and MATRIX: The Center for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences Online.
