June 16 is Youth Day in South Africa. The national holiday commemorates the anniversary of the 1976 Soweto Uprising. The Hector Pieterson museum in Soweto is named after the 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police during the uprising. The photo by Sam Nzima became the iconic image of the event.
In 2005, our interim class visited the museum, and I took this photo of the mural of the famous photo that changed the world. The girl on the left in the photo is now employed by the museum, and we had a chance to meet her when we were in Soweto.
Today, we basically stayed home. Mark finished the third Harry Potter book, and we picked up my repaired cell phone.
I realized that the online transfer limit on our bank account has been reset to zero again! Arrrrrgh! I'll have to go to the bank tomorrow to reset it. Again!
