Steve Biko inspired a generation of black South Africans to claim their true identity and refuse to be a part of their own oppression. Through his example, he demonstrated fearlessness and self-esteem, and he led a black student movement countrywide that challenged and thwarted the culture of fear perpetuated by the apartheid regime. He paid the highest price with his life. The brutal circumstances of his death shocked the world and helped isolate his oppressors. This short biography of Biko shows how fundamental he was to the reawakening and transformation of South Africa in the second halfOhio short histories of Africa.Political activistsSouth AfricaSouth AfricaHistory1961-1994South AfricaRace relationsSouth AfricaPolitics and government1994-Political activists968.06092BWilson Lindy1533263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786201203321Steve Biko3780101UNINA
