Soweto Youth Uprising of June 16
Yoomna Rahim
The June 16, 1976, Soweto Uprising profoundly changed South Africa's socio-political landscape, triggered by the Apartheid government's Bantu Education Act and compulsory use of Afrikaans in schools. Between 3,000 and 10,000 students protested peacefully, but were met with police violence, sparking a nationwide revolt. The brutal crackdown led to international condemnation and bolstered the anti-Apartheid movement with new recruits.
