Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg

On June 12, 2012, we went to the Apartheid Museum. This was an amazing thing to see, a museum depicting the rise of apartheid and the struggle to overcome it. At the entrance, you are given tickets that tell you to go through the white or non-white door. You meet up shortly thereafter, but it initiates a very visceral and moving experience, including the ceiling of nooses in a room which describes assassinations and executions and "accidental" deaths. You can visit the museum online at http://www.apartheidmuseum.org/

Renee kindly brought the kids to a casino while Brooke and Ben visited the museum. That's why we're all smiling.
