Steve Biko was one of the most vocal of the South African activist in the struggle against Apartheid, a system of legalized segregation in South Africa, which began in 1948. Biko was both an African nationalist and socialist. He played a leading role in the Black Consciousness movement in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Biko died under mysterious circumstances after being detained by police on charges of terrorism on September 12, 1977.
