Different protest stories from China, Belarus, Kenya, USA and Argentina

Stories of resistance and protest from China, Belarus, Kenya, USA and Argentina.

Max Pearson brings you a roundup of this week’s Witness History stories of resistance from the last 70 years.  From the early days of opposition to President Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus, through the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, a photographer's memories of the 1989 demonstrations in China, an iconic civil rights story from the USA, to Argentina and the women who are still demonstrating in the hope of discovering what became of their children under military rule.
