Happy South African Woman's Day! At one time the South African government Made an alarming suggestion That would mean unfair treatment For their entire black population They wanted the black people to carry A black pass that designated Where they work and live because Black people were unfairly hated But all day on the ninth of August Some women began to protest That black people are not worse And the white people are not the best The women marched and made long petitions And protested in every way So now today's remembered As Africa's national woman's day ------------------------------------------------ All facts from Wikipedia Today in South Africa it is national woman's day, to remember the women who successfully protested against the unfair law changes in 1956. Thank you to @thepenguin for help with the last line. Happy South African Woman's day.
