Both South Africa and the United States are known for being riddled with by racial oppression and yet both places have been positively affected by multi-racial movements working to end racism. Over the course of multiple interviews exploring the personal experiences of four women activists, two American and two South Africa, I seek to see if any similarities arise between their time in the two different movements. I'm seeking to place each woman's experience in a historical context however with an eye to better understanding each woman's call the activism, what influenced her to take action and join the movement, as well as different perceptions of race particularly as experienced by being part of a multiracial movement fighting racial oppression. Consequently, in each pair of women, one participant is white and one participant is black. My project will culminate with a written work in May which presents each woman's experience accompanied by an analysis of any themes that might arise our of their stories.
