Support the Youth of South Africa

White T-shirt with a hand drawing in brown showing many scenes of young South Africans protesting. Some images are from iconic photographs, such as the youth in the bottom left corner carrying the body of Hector Pieterson and a teenaged boy holding a metal trash can lid as a shield. The largest image is of a youth wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and thin tie (probably a school uniform), holding up one hand in a fist. Many protest signs and slogans appear in the image. They include: Congress of South African Students - COSAS. South African Youth Congress - SAYCO. Peoples Education for Peoples Power COSAS. Each one teach one - COSAS. Free compulsory education. Freedom or Death - SAYCO, Victory is Certain SAYCO. We are fighting for our rights as students - the right to live, and the right to be educated. Hector Pieterson was the first child shot dead in 1976. He was 19 years old. In 1996, one of four detained by South African policy was a member of COSAS. I have seen boys fighting police with stones and empty tin. Free our leaders! Free all political prisoners. There was a loud voice calling out - come and see outside in the streets the children are dying. The name of the organization that produced the T-shirt, Triangle Students Against Apartheid, appears on the back of the T-shirt. The shirt is discolored from age.
