Apartheid was Evil

Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that. Miriam Makeba

Interpretation

Speaking the truth about the injustices of apartheid was not a political act but rather a reflection of the reality in South Africa. Shedding light on the truth can often lead to political implications beyond one's control.
