Title: Biko
Description: Thirty years ago, on 12 September 1977, Bantu Stephen Biko, one of South Africa's greatest leaders and philosophers, was murdered in detention by the apartheid regime. The Apartheid Museum, in partnership with the Department of Education and the Steve Biko Foundation, seeks to honour Biko's memory by staging this major exhibition to commemorate his contribution to lifting the veil of oppression in our country. Unlike Biko, many others who died in detention for their opposition to apartheid have sunk into obscurity. This book pays tribute to all 115 people who died in South African prisons from 1963 to 1990 in their quest for a better world.
