The Price of Freedom - Before & After

Hector Pieterson was one of the first children killed in the student uprisings protesting Apartheid in Soweto in June, 1976. This picture was taken of Hector, his sister Antoinette, and another student just after Hector was shot and killed by the South African Police.

On our pilgrimage, we had the honor of meeting Antoinette during our tour of Soweto. She still lives in the township and is currently building a memorial to honor her brother and the other students by laying stones along the path of their protest march.











In this picture Antoinette is standing in the middle at work on her current project.
