"The Politics of Memory: What the Past Means Today"
**** Apartheid Museum
1st point. An ironic and discombobulating fact is that the Apartheid Museum is located in the Golden Reef City, which is a center that also has an amusement park and a Casino. Which came first? Hmmmm . . . . . really no better location?
Consider: Our tour guide had been positive throughout the tour and at the end we finished with a hope and dream for a brighter tomorrow for him and for his country.
Yet, it takes 10-20 years to change the economic and social structures of a nation (at least a generation!).
n only 14 years old – want change ASAP – general theme we've been hearing from our different speakers

Big Q: Consider the context of the environment (decade post apartheid).
– The message of the museum?
– Does it perhaps blow out of proportion certain details or perhaps leave out certain details and pictures to paint a particular side of the story?
– I always question what is the full story and is every narrative being shared and fairly expressed along the way?
