I read the book Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane and I'm try do a research paper on Christianity. I'm trying to argue that Christianity helped end apartheid. I can't seem to find good information. Links would be very helpful.

    Look up Desmond Tutu. He is an Archbishop in the Anglican Church (a branch of Christianity) and was one of many Christian leaders who fought against apartheid.

    Not much. Lots of Good Christians created it, and continued to maintain it. It is not nreligion that ends it, but a philosophy shared by people of many faiths (or none) of humanity - the nature of all humans of any race, color or creed - for equal rights. See Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa. Also Human Rights.
