In the News: "The image that changed the course of South Africa's history"

The image that changed the course of South Africa's history (CNN)

This clip from CNN begins with the iconic image of South Africa's liberation struggle: a student carrying Hector Pieterson's limp body, with Pieterson's sister, Antoinette, at his side.

Antoinette Sithole recalls the day in 1976 when her brother and at least 22 other students were  killed while protesting the apartheid education system. She also speaks of the significance of that day and of her work as a guide at the Hector Pieterson Memorial in Soweto.

Sithole provides a more detailed account of that tragic day in a YouTube video from  Winston-Salem State University: Antoinette Sithole: the Soweto Uprising (4 min 51 sec).
