December 2, 1977 - A demonstration erupted outside a South African court after a magistrate ruled that security police were to be exonerated in the death of black consciousness leader Steve Biko, who died while in their custody.
The demonstrators chanted, "They have killed Steve Biko. What have we done? Our sin is that we are black?"
His funeral had been attended by more than 15,000 mourners, not including the thousands who were turned away by the police. He had been arrested for writing inflammatory pamphlets and "inciting unrest" among the black community.
"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”

J'apprends que le second prénom de #zohranMamdani est "Kwame".
Un hommage au leader #KwameNkruma, premier président du Ghana indépendant de 1960 à 1966.Pan-africaniste, marxiste, anticapitaliste, il rendit l'école obligatoire dès 1962 et améliora considérablement la condition des femmes dans son pays.
Il fut renversé par un coup d'état fomenté par la CIA pendant qu'il était en voyage à l'étranger.
Et pour cause, le Ghana était le 2nd producteur de cacao et possède de grandes réserves d'or que N'Kruma nationalisa pour les soustraire à l'économie de marché qui ne laissait aux ghanéen que la portion congrue de leur labeur.
Au moins, il ne fut pas assassiné comme #Lumumba, #Biko ou #Sankara.Je souhaite à Mamdani de réussir son pari à New-York et de fermer le clapet à tous ses détracteurs...si il n'est pas assassiné avant.

***
El setembre de 1988 #Gabriel la va cantar al macro-concert que es va fer al #CampNou, organitzat per #AmnistiaInternacional. Concert que va començar al capvespre i va acabar a les 4 de la matinada.
Ha estat un dels millors concerts de la meva vida, amb #Bruce, #Sting, #YoussouNDour i una jove promesa: #TracyChapman, entre altres cantants.

South Africa to reopen Steve Biko inquest 48 years after death in police custody | South Africa | The Guardian

August 18, 1977 - Steve Biko, the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement resisting apartheid, was arrested at a roadblock outside King William’s Town. He died while in custody from abuse during the weeks of interrogation that followed.
"So as a prelude whites must be made to realize that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realize that they are also human, not inferior."
"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
~ Biko speech in Cape Town, 1971 -

After making a meme-like image and printable page for Steve Biko's memorable line, I'll never forget that the line is his and not Paolo Friere's. A .pdf and .png in the repository has the lyrics (with a Japanese translation) for Peter Gabriel's song too. It was great to hear that a local poetry group used the print-out (copied larger to an A3 page) to listen to the song and read of Biko. A member in her 80's saw the move _Cry Freedom_...

Y, paradójicamente, el arte retrató con singular belleza esta situación tan dolorosa. Sin dudas, el emotivo homenaje que le diera Peter Gabriel a este luchador por la igualdad es de esos en los que hay que respirar hondo para sostener la emoción. A continuación, #Biko, con imágenes de la película Grito de Libertad que narra su triste historia. La de todos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luVpsM3YAgw

We revisited Cry Freedom as our movie night offering tonight.
That is a harrowing story indeed but at the same time full of hope.
