Okay. Apologies, then. But anyone in any fight for civil rights and concerned about "diversity and inclusion" really should know about the history and principal players in apartheid and especially in bringing apartheid to an end. It's not ancient history, after all. Apartheid was only instituted in 1948, and brought to an end in the early 90s.

The movie "Mandela and de Klerk" starring Sidney Poitier as Mandela and Michael Caine as de Klerk is is worth a look. It's on Amazon. In fact, if you want to learn about successful civil rights movements, I'd recommend watching every film about apartheid, from "Cry Freedom" to "A Dry White Season" "Invictus" to all the Mandela biopics. Mandela was really brilliant when it came to understanding "messaging."
