In Johannesburg, South Africa, there exists a striking contrast between the indigenous population and the colonizers who once claimed the land. For example, the towering high-rises and gated homes of the affluent neighborhoods starkly contrast with the humble shanty town huts found in Soweto, vividly highlighting the exploitation faced by its people over generations. The similarities between the Harlems of America and the Sowetos of Africa present a universal narrative of struggle and resilience. The poignant phrase "Welcome to Soweto" serves as a tribute to all those who have been oppressed, whose land, labor, and invaluable resources were unjustly taken for the benefit of others.
