To commemorate #YouthDay, we invite you to join us in paying tribute to the youth of 1976 whose sacrifices allowed a generation of South Africans to achieve their dreams. Comedian Trevor Noah, visual activist Zanele Muholi and innovator Siyabulela Xuza are among the South Africans that today embody their revolutionary spirit, creativity and courage. We raise them high above Times Square in NYC so that they might continue to inspire the world. #MeetSouthAfrica 🇿🇦
