How did the Anti-apartheid movement start?
assistant
The anti-apartheid movement started with the Sharpeville massacre in 1960. A group of protesters gathered in Sharpeville, a township in South Africa, to protest against the pass laws, which restricted the rights of black people to move freely throughout the country. The police opened fire on the crowd, killing 69 people. This incident helped to fuel the anti-apartheid movement, which eventually led to the dismantling of apartheid.
