Hector: A Boy, a Protest and the Photograph that Changed Apartheid

Hector: an ordinary boy Antoinette: his older sister Sam: a photojournalist

Three perspectives on June 16, 1976— the day a peaceful student protest turned deadly, and a photograph sparked change in South Africa.

With powerful sequential art, debut author-illustrator Adrienne Wright tells Hector Pieterson’s story and recounts the heartbreaking events that woke up the world and helped lead to the end of South Africa’s apartheid.
