- Synopsis
- NIMAC-sourced textbook. SYMBOL OF HOPE. As a child, Miriam Makeba had the voice of an angel—strong and vibrant. In her home she sang freely; but in her native South Africa, Makeba was not free. Black Africans were oppressed by apartheid, a set of laws designed to restrict their human rights and silence their voices. As Makeba set out on a journey to share her native music with the world, she became the voice of an oppressed people and a symbol of hope for freedom.
