Solution

Dear student,


APARTHEID:

The apartheid system was particularly oppressive for the blacks because they were forbidden from living in white areas. They could
work in white areas only if they had a permit. Trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools and colleges, libraries, cinema halls, theatres, beaches, swimming pools public toilets, were all separate for the whites and blacks. This was called segregation. They could not even visit the churches where the whites worshipped. Blacks could not form associations or protest against the terrible treatment.


BLACK POWER

​​a. 19th and 20th centuries involved struggle , agitation by The African Americans in US who became the victim of the worst kind of racial discrimination being denied citizenship and other constitutional rights. Such a policy of discrimination had its roots in slavery, which subjected the blacks and considered them as inferior and subordinate beings.
b. In the early part of the 19th century several organisations fought for the rights of blacks in US, but nothing substantial could be attained and Blacks continued to be racially targeted by the whites.
c. The Black power movement targeted the practice of racism in US, from 1966 to 1975.
d.This movement was more militant and radical in nature.
e.The movement advocated the use of violence to end racism.
