In June 1959, South African police used brutal force, including baton charges and shooting, to disperse crowds of predominantly Black women protesting in Cato Manor, Durban.

Happy National Book Lovers Day. To every book that found us at the right time, every character we still think about, every sentence we underlined, and every story that made us feel a little less alone. May we never run out of books to read or reasons to love them.
