Steve Biko
by Lindy Wilson
‘Biko was appalled at what he saw all around him in South Africa at the time: “the black man has become a shell, a shadow of man … bearing the yoke of oppression with sheepish timidity,” he said.
‘He challenged black people not to be a part of their own oppression, believing that “the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed”.’

Thomas Sankara: An African Revolutionary
by Ernest Harsch
‘Sankara left a mark beyond his own country. During visits elsewhere in Africa or at international summit meetings, his speeches struck listeners with their forcefulness and clarity.
‘His frank criticisms of the policies of some of the world’s most powerful nations were all the more notable coming from a representative of a small, poor, landlocked state [in Africa] that few had previously heard of.’
