Soweto uprising remembered

The video discusses the Soweto Uprising of June 16, 1976, where students protested against the imposition of Afrikaans in schools by the apartheid government. The peaceful protest turned violent with the arrival of armed police, resulting in the death of 23 people, including 13-year-old Hector Peterson. His death became a symbol of apartheid's brutality. The video also covers the legacy of the uprising, its annual commemoration, and reflections on the changes and challenges that remain in South Africa today.
