This rectangular button shows a famous photograph of Hector Pieterson being carried by a crying friend after being killed by police on the first day of the Soweto student uprising on June 16, 1976. The text appears across the bottom of the picture in red, in lettering meant to appear hand written. [Note: This button was apparently created by the Young Communist League USA which was based in New York City. The Young Communist League USA operated as the youth wing of the Communist Party of the United States.]
