For decades, South Africa was under apartheid: a series of laws that divided people by race. Then, in the 1990s, those laws were dismantled. But many of the barriers they created continue to divide South Africans by skin color - which in turn determines their quality of life, access to jobs, and wealth. Racial division was built into the fabric of cities throughout South Africa, and it still hasn't been uprooted.
That's partly because, while apartheid was the culmination of South Africa's racial divisions, it wasn't the beginning of them. That story starts closer to the 1800s, when the British built a network of railroads that transformed the region's economy into one that excluded most Black people -- and then made that exclusion the law.

Things They Never Wanted you to Know About the Apostle Paul - Did you know that there are those who say that there are really two gospels? Believers in the “two gospels” theory claim that the true gospel is found only in Paul’s writings. Unbeknown to some, many Christians unintentionally place a greater focus on the words of Paul. Why is that? We need to talk about the things they never wanted you to know about Apostle Paul.#christianity #apostlepaul #bible
