As commonly stated, it is essential that one understands the events of the past to better prepare for the future.
The events which took place on the spring afternoon of March 20, 1960 not only reflect an image of shame throughout South Africa, but also serve to testify the importance of equality.
As South African Police fired upon peaceful protestors attempting to condemn the "Dompass", 60 innocent South African citizens were killed. These citizens were clearly unarmed and peaceful, but Black Nationalism was not a popular theme amongst many.
It would not be enough to say that the deaths of the 60 South Africans is regretted, rather, something must be done in their names...In support of the very oppressive force they condemned; apartheid. Just as history has a way of repeating itself, it is important we learn from our mistakes of the past and avoid such future incidents. - Habeas Moubarak
