Learning from Images
//View satellite images at Google Maps// (http://maps.google.com/) Search first for Sandton (designated during apartheid as an area for whites) Search for Soweto (designated during apartheid as an area for blacks)

To get a closer look at the formerly white and African communities, go to //Google Images// (http://images.google.com/imghp?tab=wi) and search for Sandton and Soweto.


 * Discussion questions**

1. How would you describe ways in which these neighborhoods differ?

2. What can you learn from satellite images about how apartheid affected the lives of people of different races? What more can you learn from close-up photographs?

3. Laws mandating residential racial segregation have been repealed. Now, in South Africa, as in many countries, where people live generally is determined by their economic status rather than their race. Discuss the challenges South Africa faces to overcome the legacy of racial segregation and unequal economic opportunities under apartheid.
