For fourteen years, Dennis taught English and Afrikaans in South Africa. As the white minority government increased restrictions on the black population, he became involved in a series of anti-apartheid related activities, including efforts to end discrimination in sports. The government subsequently banned him from teaching, writing, publishing, attending social or political meetings, and pursuing his studies. In 1963, his refusal to abide by the ban resulted in eighteen months of hard labor on Robben Island, alongside Nelson Mandela. Forbidden to write or publish after his release, Brutus left South Africa in 1966 for England and then the United States, and is now recognized as one of the prominent voices in the anti-apartheid movement."--Amazon. 600 10 $a Brutus, Dennis, $d 1924-2009 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Poets, South African $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Human rights workers $z South Africa $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid activists $z South Africa $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 830 0 $a Discovering history's heroes. 941 $a 3 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220201015352.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210803014751.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210507010033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7BC4340AAEF911EB87B7F7C926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
