Examining Apartheid in South Africa
December 17, 2024
We are reading Trevor Noah’s book “Born a Crime” for our literature class. This is both an entertaining and educational book about his life growing up in apartheid South Africa.
Maneeza Khan, one of our JHU work study students who is from India, did an internship recently in South Africa and shared her experiences with the class. Maneeza talked about visiting Cape Town and Johannesburg, shantytowns and Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner along with many others. She shared not only some of the history of apartheid as well as its legacy.
Everyone is a resource at The Community School and we are thankful to have such a diverse community to enrich our lives and our program.
