Pictures

More pictures from our adventures in South Africa. Some display the beauty of South Africa, while others show how most Black South Africans live on a daily basis. These pictures were taken to show the large disparities that exist in South Africa but also to bring attention to the issue of poverty more broadly as it relates to developing Countries. Some of the photos are extremely shocking, especially given that South Africa is one of the most developed nations on the continent of Africa yet it still faces many social inequalities.

Shocking billboard--- the benefits associated with being of a lighter complexion seems not only to exist in the United States but also in South Africa.
