Today we mark the contribution that young people made to the struggle for freedom in South Africa. On this day in 1976, 20-thousand school learners marched in a protest that began the Soweto Uprising. As many as 700 hundred people lost their lives in the clashes that ensued with police.
The Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto, pictured below, is a short distance from where police opened fire on the students.
