A timeline of South Africa's anti apartheid crisis from the 1976 Soweto protests to 1986 state of emergency. Key events include killings at Soweto schools, Biko’s death, bans on groups and papers, boycotts, constitutional changes, Nelson Mandela talks, and mass detentions amid ongoing violence.
Thousands of protesters streamed into Central Park to denounce apartheid and urge President Reagan to impose strict sanctions. Speakers included Arth ur Ashe Harry Belafonte and Jesse Jackson as up to 100000 supporters gathered, linking the Soweto riots anniversary to U.S. policy and calling for action.
Government says security forces with new emergency powers will control South Africa on Monday as blacks plan a nationwide general strike commemorating Soweto. In Pretoria, officials cite a 35 percent drop in violent incidents since the state of emergency.
