Racial discrimination in South Africa was opposed over at least 100 years by a number of prominent figures and literally millions of less prominent activists, fighters, workers, scholars, politicians and clerics.
The most prominent figure (best known) in modern times is Nelson Mandela.
He and F.W. de Klerk jointly received the Nobel prize for putting a formal end to apartheid.
Previously Albert Luthuli was honored with the Nobel prize for his work and before him the very famous Mohandas K. Ghandi (Mahatma) built a strong passive resistance movement in the early days of the African National Congress.

People were officially designated white, black or 'coloured'. A Black in the family as many as 4 generations back would make you 'coloured' and could prevent you from many jobs.
