WAY TO

FREEDOM Erika Kodama


My name is Elijah Cheatham. I am an African, fighting for my freedom.

“Europeans� have taken our lands and our freedom. They do not treat us as equal. All because of our skin colour.


...now I am here

We are here in Shapeville to protest against Apartheid regime!

I am tired of being arrested for no reason I am tired of seeing my father coming home worn out after 12 hours of work and still not having enough money

I am tired of knowing that my future isn't bright. I am tired of treated differently. Just because I am “BLACK�



People in our times used categorise themselfs and others into groups.. “Blacks” “Europeans” and many others But there is no difference. In the end we all same and equal Humans... I am not angry nor sad. Because, I belive that my words were loud enough and were strong enough to reach in to peoples hearts. I belive that someday we will all come together as one and there will never be pain.

I belive for my nation. For Africa and for all...
