District Six, the Apartheid Museum & Cape Town's History

District Six (the former inner-city neighbourhood of Cape Town, declared a 'Whites Only' area under the Group Areas Act in 1966 and completely demolished between 1968 and 1982, displacing approximately 60,000 residents — one of the most notorious acts of apartheid social engineering in South Africa): the District Six Museum (the most important museum of apartheid history in Cape Town, established in 1994 in the former Central Methodist Mission church) preserves the memory of the community and documents the crime of forced removals.
