The Sharpeville massacre on March 21, 1960, was a shocking event where police killed 79 peaceful protesters fighting against unfair laws in South Africa. This tragedy sparked a strong movement for freedom and led to the establishment of Human Rights Day, a day to remember those who sacrificed for justice. Sharpeville symbolizes the fight against apartheid and inspires South Africans to protect everyone’s rights today. The legacy of that day reminds us how important it is to stand up for equality and to ensure a better future for all.
