The Soweto Uprising of 1976 began as a protest of thousands of Black students marching against the mandatory use of Afrikaans in schools. During the planned peaceful protest, police released dogs and tear gas into the crowd and began shooting when students threw stones, leaving 23 dead including 12-year old Hector Pietersen, whose death became a symbol of police brutality. The uprising highlighted the oppression of Black South Africans and led to celebrations each June 16th in remembrance.

Apartheid in South Africa
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation and discrimination enforced in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. The white minority government passed laws separating races and taking political and economic power from non-whites. This led to oppression, poverty, and violence until international pressure and internal uprisings ended apartheid, with Nelson Mandela becoming the first black president in 1994 after multi-racial democratic elections.
