South African Segregation in the Early Twentieth Century The first half of the twentieth century was a time of segregation and oppression in South Africa. As more and more European and white settlers began to flock to South Africa in hopes of making their fortune in diamonds‚ segregation problems arose.

If there was no racial segregation in the United States during the 1940’s rock and roll may not have been created. Rock and roll had an overwhelming influence on how white teenagers and black teenagers began to intermingle with each other.
