Cape Town Video


This is the video that I showed in class today. I like it because it helps you visualize Cape Town, one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in South Africa, while also showing you what some of the slums look like. You can see that even though apartheid has ended, racial inequality still exists.

There's a scene in the middle that shows a classroom in one of the poor parts of the city. Compare that our classrooms at Northwest and think about the kinds of opportunities we take for granted.
