Pamphlet on the June 16 Soweto uprising sparked by student opposition to the use of Afrikaans in the teaching of history and mathematics. There have been many signs of the new move towards active struggle - a dramatic wave of strikes among African workers, the formation of a black student organization (SASO) dedicated to radical political change, and a growing number of political trials of so-called terrorists. Immediately after the police shootings in Soweto, Henry Kissinger chose to meet with Prime Minister Vorster in West Germany for what were termed friendly negotiations. • Life Under Apartheid • Terrible Realities • Reprinted from Christianity and Crisis, July 19, 1976.
