Day Four

Apartheid Museum
When I was given a "white" entry card into the entrance of the museum, I was not prepared to feel the pain and anguish that I felt. It was as if the pain of all who suffered under the inhumane systems of Apartheid rested on my shoulders during the time we were there. The sobbing was uncontrollable. A lovely black South African tour guide (Rafweala) told me to draw strength from her because they have overcome. Black South Africans have overcome. I will always remember Rafweala's resilience.
