Grant Description

To enable the documentation of the oral history of District Six in Cape Town. District Six was declared a "White Group" area in 1966 and remained vacant for almost 30-years.

Twenty-four families have returned to the district and the Museum will record their living memories as well as those of other former residents, many well over the age of 70.
