fuckyeahanarchistposters: In memory of the Soweto student uprising in South Africa, which broke out on June 16, 1976, here are some Anti-apartheid posters from the era. 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.
