About this audio guide
This guide to the District Six Museum in Cape Town starts on the chalk-marked floor of a former Methodist church, where displaced residents once penciled their old addresses onto a map of a demolished neighborhood. You'll hear how apartheid's 1966 Group Areas Act declared District Six whites-only, and how bulldozers spent over a decade erasing a mixed-race community in the shadow of Table Mountain. It traces the decades-long fight of former residents to return home.
