About

On 21 March 1960 police opened fire on members of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) protesting peacefully in the South African township of Sharpeville against apartheid's iniquitous 'pass laws'. Sixty-nine people died, many shot in the back. The shots fired that day in an obscure corner of South Africa reverberated around the world and Sharpeville became the symbol of the evil of the apartheid system.

With 30 monochrome photographs taken before, during & after the shooting that shook South Africa. (some are graphic).

Includes "An open letter to a friend in SA"
