Island of Rememberance
Thursday, September 1st, 2005Apartheid was from 1948 to 1991. Apartheid was the separation of non-whites (colored, Asian, and blacks) from whites. During Apartheid, Robben Island became a place of history, and has been ever since. During the time of Apartheid, Robben Island was used as a prison. Robben Island has not always been used for a prison though. The island has also been used as a hospital for wacky people and for people with leperacy. The island was also used for a training and defense station for World War II.
