21 March 1960 On this day protesters took to the street in opposition to the intense segregation laws opposed on people of colour in South Africa during the Apartheid Era. I spoke to my parents on many occasions about what growing up in this time was like and the one thing that always came up was their pass books. If you were a non white in the Apartheid Era, your identification documents were different. This was a way for the authorities to restrict the volume of black, coloured and POC populations in certain areas. Today is a day where we in South Africa remember the countless human rights violations which occurred over the years and still happen today, whether it is due to what has happened or due to our new government, it does not matter. What we as humans should be concerned about is what we are doing to prevent further human rights violations from occurring around us.
