SOPHIATOWN, SOUTH AFRICA<br />

Black children with “EDUCATE THE CHILDREN AND SAVE THE RACE” banner sing a song<br />

during an event at Sophiatown Native Location. Sophiatown was a racially mixed but mostly<br />

black neighborhood near central Johannesburg. It had achieved near-legendary status as a<br />

center of black culture and politics from the 1930s to the ‘50s. The government bulldozed it<br />

in the mid-50s and moved its residents to Soweto, on the far outskirts of town.
