 JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Young people in the new South Africa are struggling to confront AIDS, sexual violence and poverty. Thirty years ago, their predecessors fought to bring down a racist regime whose legacy still haunts the nation.
The young people who marched June 16, 1976 — in what came to be known as the Soweto Uprising — gave new life to the struggle for black power. Reports of police firing bullets on unarmed children awakened the world to the brutality of the apartheid regime.
Some of the battles haven't changed much.
