The black children disagreed with this decree because they thought this decision was the last line to deprive their liberty.
So black children took the street to protest against the apartheid regime in South Africa, more precisely in Soweto. It was the Charles Dickens' novels that inspired the children.
Then, police opened fire and killed a anti-apartheid activist student, with this act the word of Soweto was spread around the world. It is an interesting illustration of the notion myths and heroes as it shows a student group who fought for their liberty and against the apartheid regime and also beacuse of their success because Afrikaans was deleted in classrooms. Both, the speech and the article are about people's civil rights, the first one in United States and the other one in South Africa.
