Poefrika on the 1976 Soweto events

Found this in the blog Poéfrika, a powerful deeply moving post by bloghost Rethabile on the events in June 1976 in which residents in Soweto, South Africa, rose up in rebellion against the apartheid system there. Rethabile's blogpost is here.

Name: Lyle Daggett

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

I've been writing poems for 48 years. Seven books of poems published; the most recent one is All Through the Night: New and Selected Poems (Red Dragonfly Press, 2013). Several other manuscripts completed and some more in progress. Some poems, translations, essays, book reviews, etc., in magazines and anthologies over the years. My political activities started with a speech against the Vietnam War in my 9th grade English class. Have worked at various day jobs, mostly in large corporate offices talking on the phone and typing on computers. I've lived in Minneapolis most of my life. In spite of sporadic indications to the contrary, history is not over yet. For this reason I continue to have hope. I continue to believe in the future.
