Prison and Apartheid

Today is always a difficult day as in the morning we visit Constitution Hill where political prisoners (men, women, and children) were held for lengthy periods of time. Some, like Nelson Mandela, were held here prior to being transferred to Robben island and others like Winnie Mandela had multiple shorter sentences here. Once we left the prison we moved on to the Apartheid museum which traces the history of South Africa from the Khoi Khoi and the San through the end of Apartheid. It is one of the most well thought out museums I have ever visited and each year I learn something new.
