August 9th commemorates the women who spoke out against pass laws in South Africa over 50 years ago in 1956. The pass laws, part of the apartheid regime, restricted movement by requiring blacks to have permission to be out and about anywhere. Kudos to the brave women who stood rock hard in their protest over 50 years ago. You were part of the driving force of change. Thank you.
(The slogan, "strike a woman, strike a rock," comes from the song written and sung for the protest.)
