Summary of the Passage:
The Albany Movement was a movement against segregation policies in Albany and was supported by the SNCC, NAACP, and SCLC. Martin Luther King's goal was to advise people rather than join in on the movement but he was arrested during a demonstration for 45 days and a fine. He was released three days later during an attempt to cause change by choosing jail time but the movement would end a year later without achieving its goals to end segregation policies in Albany.

March 17 represented a symbolic occasion for Irish people to reflect on their sense of self and look back with nostalgia at ancient Ireland. The figure of St Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland became a metaphor for the struggle against British rule.
Apartheid (“apartness” in the language of Afrikaans) was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. After the National Party gained power in South Africa in 1948, its all-white government immediately began enforcing existing policies of racial segregation. Under apartheid, nonwhite South Africans (a majority of the population) would be forced to live in separate areas from whites and use separate public facilities. Contact between the two groups would be limited. Despite strong and consistent opposition to apartheid within and outside of South Africa, its laws remained in effect for the better part of 50 years. In 1991, the government of President F.W. de Klerk began to repeal most of the legislation that provided the basis for apartheid. President de Klerk and activist Nelson Mandela would later win the Nobel Peace Prize for their work creating a new constitution for South Africa.
