Guys: so many tears. Happy and sad. It's great to hear real accounts of the struggle through apartheid, when this was a blip on my studies.

I don't think I find Afrikaans all that interesting anymore. Seeing how it's sullied with the blood of children. I didn't know any of this. Why didn't I know any of this?

I find Afrikaans as a language ridiculously interesting. But now they're talking about when South Africa started teaching Bantu children lessons entirely in Afrikaans and I just want to cry. You can't... you just can't do that.

I can't even imagine being in prison for 27 years. That is incredible. This audio history makes the reality of the situation so intense.

"When you see your friends being shot at for just walking in the street, it does something to you. Therefore you look around - what are the alternatives? Do I become like my mother? And the alternative was for me not to be like mom, as great as she was, and to go and fight." There was a divorce between many young people and their parents.

"I don't why they (the police) decided to shoot (the children protestors). I can only think it was black life and it didn't count. Life of African people had always been cheap."

1976 - I didn't realize that there were children protests who had bullets fired on them. I need to research more into South African history.

"Mandela and many other anti-apartheid leaders were in jail or in exile. The movement was leaderless until South Africa's children rose up to galvanize the struggle once again."

"I had made a statement where I had called for armed struggle. Naturally, there was a great deal of resistance from the leadership but I believed we were moving in that direction because the government left us with no other alternative." "The adoption of an armed struggle after a struggle that had been well known for its non-violent and peaceful nature was quite startling."
