On 16 June 1976, thousands of Soweto's schoolchildren took to the streets and changed South Africa forever. Fifty years on, their courage is still present in conversations about justice, dignity and the right to be free.

Every day for 16 days, to commemorate the Soweto Uprising, we’ll spotlight a book that speaks to the power of protest and solidarity.

Read about the intellectual fire of Black Consciousness, the teachers and students who refused to be silenced, the communities and workers that organised and resisted and the individuals whose bravery shaped a nation.

Social justice is everyone’s concern. Holding power to account, something everyone can do.
