Antoinette Sithole, an educational speaker and curator of the Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto, South Africa, focused her presentation on the events of June 16, 1976, the day of the youth uprising in Soweto.

Her brother, Hector Pieterson, was killed that day, which Sithole witnessed. Hector was, at age 12, one of the first and youngest children to be killed by the apartheid regime.


June 16th is Youth Day in South Africa, a holiday to remember the black school children in Soweto who started an uprising across the country with their protest 34 years ago.
People laid flowers at a monument honoring those killed.
