Schoolchildren Battle Apartheid

Fifty years ago, on 16 June 1976, groups of schoolchildren from the Soweto township near Johannesburg, South Africa, went into the streets to protest against the government. The specific spark for the protests was the imposition of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in schools where pupils didn’t speak the language. The protests, which were met with extreme police violence, are now seen as the beginning of the end of the apartheid regime.

Enlightening the Industrial Revolution

His name might not be familiar but his paintings (at least one of them) should ring a bell. Joseph Wright of Derby's works stage people lit up by candles against a dark foreground, and not only epitomise the classical style of his period but also – and above all – showcase the worries and concerns alongside with the excitement linked to the industrial revolution in Britain.
