[lg policy] South Africa: Anniversary of Soweto uprising

[Harold Schiffman]

Soweto uprising: "the struggle continues"

It's forty years since the Soweto uprising of 1976 in South Africa, a time
when thousands of black students took to the streets to protest against the
apartheid regime and being taught in Afrikaans. Hundreds were killed during
the police response, but the student action triggered nationwide unrest and
profoundly changed the country's social and political landscape. A survivor
of the uprising and students from a Soweto school have been sharing their
experiences and outlook on the event.
