District Six Museum

A week before spring break, our whole group went to the District Six museum. District Six was a vibrant, predominantly colored neighborhood, although it featured many unique populations that was later leveled during an apartheid push removing non-whites from urban areas. The museum was successful in recreating the vibrancy of the community and what typical life was like. Especially important was that we were accompanied by Pearnel, our driver who takes us to our service sites and school, who grew up in District Six.
