American students connect with South African heritage

As South Africa marks 50 years since the Soweto Uprising, we're reminded of the powerful role language has played in shaping identity, resistance and belonging.

Joining us is Sydnee Assan PoliSci and Journalism student, Reginald Chandler Biology student at Howard university and Dr Sipho Sithole, lecturer, Howard University.
