High school student-led protests in South Africa began on the morning of 16 June 1976 in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in local schools. Known as the Soweto uprising, an estimated 20,000 students took part in the protests. The police fired teargas and live ammunition on demonstrating students. The official count is that 176 protesters were killed, but actual estimates are much higher.

It's a shame the accompanying website was only up for the month of the publicity campaign; feels like it would have been a bigger honour to give the page a bit more permanence.

RT from Pro Asyl:
Heute vor 43 Jahren begann in #Südafrika der Aufstand in den Townships von Johannesburg. Die Proteste dauerten viele Monate. Hunderte, vor allem Schüler*innen, starben dabei. Erst über 10 Jahre später fand das Apartheidsregime sein Ende.
