'Black students at universities and schools were pivotal actors in the anti-apartheid movement and, at crucial moments, changed the course and character of the liberation struggle in South Africa,' writes Noor Nieftagodien Black Perspectives. Read the essay:loom.ly/66k16Ko

A crucial reading on how student protests on campuses in South Africa were central to ending apartheid.

Nieftagodien's essay is an excellent summary of Black South African student movements. He looks at how the 1976 Soweto uprising was 'preceded by smaller experiments of creating student movements and inspired future generations of students to commit to the struggle for freedom.'

'The state responded by unleashing a wave of terror against Black students: thousands were arrested and hundreds killed.' Great piece on Black High School students and ant-apartheid protest.
