To commemorate Youth Day, Amandla! Magazine will host an Amandla! Forum titled Youth in Crisis: Lessons from ‘76. The youth uprising of 1976 reminds us that young people are often the first to call out injustice and the first to bear the consequences of systemic failure. But it also reminds us of their extraordinary power to name what is broken, to imagine something better, and to move us all toward it.
As we face a new era of crisis, the legacy of 1976 challenges us to listen deeply, act bravely, and never underestimate the power of young people to change the world. Nearly 50 years later, the phrase “youth in crisis” remains alarmingly relevant. But what can we learn from 1976? And how can those lessons guide us through the struggles of today? Join us as we explore these critical questions.
Amandla! Forums are designed to unite thought leaders, activists, academics, and community members in order to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
