Students from numerous Sowetan schools began to protest in the streets of Soweto in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools. It is estimated that 20,000 students took part in the protests which were met with fierce police repression. Hundreds of students were killed by police throughout the uprisings.

In remembrance of these events, the 16th of June is now a public holiday in South Africa, named Youth Day

Amazing archives of anti-apartheid posters can be found here & here.

Just a quick note, since I noticed it while I was looking over my followers.

If it wasn’t already obvious; TERFs, Radfems, Neo-Nazis, Pedophiles (yes, including ephebophiles 😒), and exclusionists are not welcome here, and are definitely not welcome to use my “handcrafted” art. (The other ones aren’t mine, so I don’t have control over them.)

This is meant be a welcoming community meant to spread positivity, and those groups go against that.
