The Immorality Amendment Act criminalizes interracial intimacy

← Terug naar het dashboard
Biografie 📅 12 Mei 1950 📍 Zuid-Afrika

The apartheid government passed an amendment prohibiting sexual relations between Black and white people. The measure extended state control into intimate life and enforced racial categories through criminal law. It formed part of the racial regime that Mandela and other organizers challenged; it is included as context for the world in which his family and political work unfolded, not as an action Mandela personally led.
