3 Apartheid – Apartness or Separateness

4 Apartheid Race Classifications
White – English, Afrikaans, European Black - African Colored – Mixed European and Black/Indian/Asian Other/Asian/Indian

5 Petty vs. Grand Apartheid – from NYT
Petty apartheid is the practice of segregation in the routine of daily life - in lavatories, restaurants, railway cars, buses, swimming pools and other public facilities. It is true that there has been some relaxation of this type of segregation in recent years. But ''separate and unequal'' treatment remains legally accepted and widely practiced. In contrast to petty apartheid, grand apartheid is the wholly unique system of racially biased laws that limit the personal freedom of all South African blacks and prohibit them from any significant political voice in their Government - a Government that controls nearly every facet of their existence.

9 Examples of Grand Apartheid
* The Population Registration Act of 1950 requires that every person be classified as a white, colored, Asian or black African. A person's political, civil, economic and social rights are determined by this classification. * The ten ''homelands,'' including the four designated as independent, make up 13 percent of South Africa's territory. The land in these areas is poor and the economy stagnant. And yet all black Africans - who represent 70 percent of the population of the country - are assigned to these areas as citizens, no matter where they may actually live. Thus, out of a total of 23 million black Africans, 11 million are residents of the homelands, and 10 million, including perhaps 2 million men who are separated from their families, are ''temporary residents'' in ''white areas.'' * The Land Laws prohibit black Africans, except in rare instances, from living outside the homelands unless they are employed by whites. * The Influx Control Laws regulate the movement of blacks throughout South Africa by requiring that every black over the age of 16 be fingerprinted and carry a ''passbook'' containing the individual's identity card and employment record. A policeman may ask a black to produce his ''pass'' at any time, and failure to do so is a criminal offense.

Review your list of Apartheid Laws and your copy of the UDHR. Then complete the chart – write down the key language from the Apartheid Laws, then write down which articles of the UDHR have been violated, then explain the effect of the Apartheid Laws on the people of South Africa. Finally, write the paragraph that answers the question on the back of the chart.
