In turn, I learn something from the interactions. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>crallspace-<BR/>Thanks! I've never heard of Peter Gabriel, but I will do a search and check him out. Thanks for that info.Stephen A.

I am happy if I sparked interest in one person to learn more about Biko and others in the struggle for humanity. There are some that get nervous when they see the words "Black Consciousness." They try to relate it to White Supremacy or being a separatist. On the contrary, it is about empowerment and uplifting a people.Stephen A.

I believe this crime is still punishable by law all over the world today, including the United States of Amrica. I should mention though he informed his assailants; "If you gentleman intend or plan to assault me, you would have to tie both my hands and feet, for I will defend myself"<BR/>Killing him was a struggle for more than eight so called strong men even though both his hands and feet were tied!!! His soul is indestructable, I can feel it, I can see him, I can feel the strenghth of mind and soul!! I am so proud of you Stephen, yes you too Stephen for enlightening us about this great son of the soil!! both ofAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-1132330853777294092005-11-18T11:20:00.000-05:002005-11-18T11:20:00.000-05:00Sumeeta-Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Bik...Sumeeta-<BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Biko. I made a commitment to report on the work and life of Biko all this week so I had to wrap it up today. I know that I strayed from the poetry and fun stuff for a moment, but I just wanted to talk about Biko and what his life and work meant to me. I want you to have a good weekend as well.Stephen A.

Thanks for bringing this injustice to light again.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you have a good weekend.Sumeetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10039149417243671237noreply@blogger.com
