Description: On June 16th 1976 the youth of Soweto once again opened the struggle against Bantu Education. On June 16th 1976 the youth of Soweto once again opened the struggle against Bantu Education. As we show in this booklet the struggles of the youth against Bantu Education are part of the struggle of the working class, part of the struggle against oppression and exploitation. On June 16th 1976, 20 000 students started a peaceful march through Soweto to protest against Afrikaans being used as the medium of instruction in schools. The police opened fire and were shot and killed. 1976 was the year in which the bitter anger of the youth of our land spilt over. The reaction of the state was violent and direct. Hundreds of our youth were murdered or maimed, others tortured and tried and many more had to flee the borders of the land to avoid the cruel sjambok of the police state. It was the year of SOWETO.
