THE SOUTH How our political history is similar to what’s going on in South Africa today. Things that make us unique.

Our history of racial struggles The Civil War (The War of Northern Aggression), Reconstruction Governor George Wallace on the steps of the University of Alabama, barring the first black student. “Segregation now, segregation forever.” Church bombings, Hoses for riot control in Birmingham. The Civil Rights Act, 1965 Affirmative Action

Football!!! “It’s not a matter of life and death… it’s much more important than that.”

As many as 10,000 people gather 2 hours before a game to witness the team’s arrival at the stadium

Marching bands and Cheerleaders get the crowd going…

87,000 people going crazy…

Even little old ladies are passionate about their football…

Hurricanes… The price you pay for living in paradise.

In Conclusion… Contrast between life back home and life in South Africa Similarities: A lot of similarities! You’re not Third World

Differences: Everyone’s obsession with crime (for good reason) The working classes and ‘being waited on’ (cheap labor)

Thank you South Africa!
