Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum
The museum is intrinsically linked to the origins of the Soweto Uprisings and its aftermath. By 10:30 am on 16 June 1976, thousands of students had gathered in Orlando West around Vilakazi Street and the precinct where the Hector Pieterson Museum is presently located to begin a protest march against the imposition of the Afrikaans language as the medium of instruction in Soweto schools.
