A tribute to Peter Sexford Magubane, the courageous photographer who chronicled South Africa's struggle for freedom from apartheid and who died this week.
Magubane’s images of Sharpeville were published in Life magazine and played a key role in bringing the brutality of the apartheid state to global notice.

🕯️ RIP Peter Magubane (1932-2024) 🕯️
South African photographer who documented apartheid
“I did not want to leave the country to find another life. I was going to stay and fight with my camera as my gun. I did not want to kill anyone, though. I wanted to kill apartheid.”

L’une de ses photos les plus célèbres, prise en 1956, montre une petite fille blanche sur un banc de la banlieue de Johannesburg portant l’inscription « Réservé aux Européens », et sa nounou noire assise de l’autre côté.
