On June 16, 1976, a significant protest known as the Soweto Uprising occurred in South Africa. Thousands of black students marched in Soweto to oppose the compulsory use of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in schools. The peaceful demonstration turned violent when police opened fire on the students, resulting in the deaths of many, including Hector Pieterson, which drew international attention to the anti-apartheid movement and highlighted the struggle against racial oppression in South Africa. Youth Day is now commemorated annually in South Africa to honor the bravery of those students and their fight for equality.
