Apartheid was a policy in South Africa that separated white and black people, limiting where Black people could live, work, go to school, and receive medical care. Black South Africans were also not allowed to vote or marry people of different races.
Two laws Black Africans had to follow during Apartheid were restrictions on where they could live, and limitations on their movement and education.
Apartheid ended after F.W. de Klerk released Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990 and agreed to end the policy in 1994, allowing people of all races to vote together and Mandela to become president.
