@thepastunpacked: The Soweto Uprising, a pivotal moment in the fight against apartheid in South Africa, began on June 16, 1976. Thousands of Black students in Soweto protested the government's imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools. A peaceful march turned violent when police opened fire, igniting a nationwide rebellion. The uprising, though tragically met with force, became a powerful symbol of resistance against racial oppression. #blackhistory #AfricanHistory #soweto #southafrica #afrikaans #uprising #blacktravel #blackexcellence #heritage
