“We took a stand to free Black South African
students.
We wanted better education.
We wanted equal education for all in South
Africa.”

“Then what happened?” Vusi asks.
“We were marching to Orlando Stadium for a
gathering. Thousands of learners joined in. We
were so excited!” Grandmother remembers.

“As we were marching, the police attacked us!
They threw teargas. Their dogs attacked us!
We tried to stay calm and keep on walking.”

“Then they started shooting!
There is a famous photograph that shocked the
whole world.
A photograph of Hector Pieterson carried by his
friend,” says Grandmother sadly.
