As the anti-apartheid movement grew in 
South Africa, the Mashinini family became immersed in almost every facet
 of the liberation struggle—from guerrilla warfare to urban 
insurrection. When the students of Soweto rose up in 1976 to protest a 
new rule making Afrikaans the language of instruction, they were led by 
the charismatic young Tsietsi Mashinini. Scores of students were shot 
down and hundreds were injured. Tsietsi’s actions on that day set in 
motion a chain of events that would forever change South Africa, define 
his family, and transform their lives.
Tonight, acclaimed journalist and author 
Lynda Schuster reflects on the fiftieth anniversary of the Soweto 
Uprising and courage and strength of the Mashinini family, the other 
students who rose up, and the countless Black South Africans whose 
struggle against an oppressive system led to a historic transformation.
Copies of Lynda’s book A Burning Hunger: One Family’s Struggle against Apartheid (originally
 published in 2004, and reissued to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary
 of the Soweto Uprising) will be available for purchase courtesy of 
Woolly Bear Books &amp; Gifts.
