Happy birthday, Steve Biko! (December 18, 1946)

An anti-apartheid activist and theorist, Steve Biko grew up in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa and studied medicine at the University of Natal, where he became involved in the student movement against the white supremacist social system of the country, helping to found the South African Students' Organisation. Influenced by Frantz Fanon and the Black Power movement, Biko articulated a philosophy he called Black Consciousness, which incorporated African nationalist and African socialist ideas; Biko coined the phrase "Black is beautiful." Although the apartheid government initially supported Black Consciousness as they believed it ultimately comported with the segregationist ideals of the apartheid system, they came to view him as a threat and employed the legal, legislative, and law enforcement systems to curtail his activities. After an arrest in 1977, Biko was beaten to death by South African police.
