On this day in 1988: The biggest charity Rock concert since Live Aid three years earlier took place at London’s Wembley Stadium, to denounce South African apartheid.

Half the money raised went towards anti-apartheid activities in Britain, the rest was donated to children’s charities in southern Africa.
