Title: Steve Biko


1
Steve Biko
  • By Shannon and Alex

His Struggle Against the Apartheid
  • When he was young he was in anti-Apartheid
    politics. He was enrolled as a student at the
    University of Natal Medical School, in the black
    section. While he was there he became involved
    with the NUSAS. The group was dominated by white
    liberals. They failed to represent the needs of
    black students. So he resigned in 1969, and tried
    to find more organizations.

Organizations He Found
  • South African Students Organization (SASO)
  • Black Peoples Convention (BPC)
  • South African Students Movement (SASM)
  • Black Workers Project (BWP)
  • National Association of Youth Organizations
    (NAYO)
  • Black Community Project (BCP)

4
His Philosophy
  • His philosophy was blacks in South Africa need to
    search for self identity and he hoped the people
    will build up pride in their culture. Steves
    famous slogan is Black is Beautiful. It means
    that even though blacks are different they should
    still be able to look at themselves as beautiful.

How They Silenced Steve
  • While Steve and his organization were in King
    Williams town the government banned anyone from
    leaving the town. If they left it would be
    illegal. The police caught Steve leaving and put
    him in jail. They beat him and poisoned him until
    he died.

6
How Steve Died
  • While he was in prison he was beaten with a hose
    and pushed into a wall. The police officers were
    beating him because He tried to sit down while
    being questioned. His head was pushed into a
    wall with such force that head blows occurred
    shifting his brain inside his head. He was found
    six days later after the killing naked lying dead
    in his jail cell. Some say he was also poisoned
    along with the beating. After he died a South
    African newspaper editor wanted the police to
    publish the truth but they refused.
