"A Bright Future for Black Housing," 1979

01

Artifact Overview

In the 1970s, U.S. firms doing business in South Africa committed resources to improve the working and living conditions of their nonwhite employees to pressure the minority white-led government to end apartheid -- South Africa's systemized segregation of races. Ford Motor Company outlined its housing efforts in this publication. These policies had little effect on apartheid, which ended in the early 1990s only after strict economic sanctions.
