Today is the 46th anniversary of Steve Biko's death, the father of the Black Consciousness Movement.
He died in police custody on September 12, 1977, as a result of injuries sustained during his arrest and subsequent beatings by the South African security forces.
He died because he was an adovate for racial equality and human rights and posed a threat to the white minority Apartheid regime in South Africa.
Today we remember him and his fight for self-empowerment of the oppressed:
"The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed"
