Doing some research tonight into the oppression that happened in South Africa under the racist apartheid governments of the 70s. I am reading and larding about the life and death of Steve Biko and the Soweto uprisings that lead to the death of 700 school children. Hector Pieterson became a symbol of the children who died in the Soweta protests, uprising. The photo below told the story of his death, The description is provided by wikipedia. Once again the power of a single photograph helped raised awareness and contributed to positive change for a country and its people.
