Looking into the past and into the future
June 16, 1976 is considered to be one of the darkest and most atrocious days in the history of the conflicts of the South African apartheid. It was brought to public attention under the name Soweto Day, and for decades this date has been a symbol for the then most violent fights between white and black South Africans. In remembrance of the children and young people who had died on this day, and also in order to draw attention to the living conditions in other African countries, June 16 became the “Day of the African Child”.
