Johannesburg was a time of being presented with heavy issues, the main one being the system of apartheid.
The Apartheid Museum communicates the story extremely well. I found this especially true because the aesthetics of the museum are excellent. The details that stay with me are the images by the photographer Ernest Cole and the writings by Stephen Bantu Biko. Cole’s photos greatly tell the cruelty of the system. While Biko’s words, “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed," show me how deep-rooted oppression was and still is in our world.
