Today in History

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Soweto uprising. During apartheid, after Nelson Mandela was in prison, so many of those working to end apartheid had been killed, inprisoned or otherwise silenced.

Then, something amazing happened. School children found their voices. On All Things Considered today Joe Richman will air an audio history of this astounding and heartbreaking moment in history. Or you can go to his Web site to hear the story of the Soweto uprising.

I work with a company called TurnHere that makes short films of interesting places around the world. They've made one about Soweto that I thought might be of interest in light of the anniversary.
