Description
stephen bantu biko; 1946-1977. non-violent south african anti-apartheid activist. died in police custody after four weeks of torture at their hands.
the text: "the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed" - S. Biko, from a speech.

simple minds wrote a beautiful song in his honour, appropriately entitled 'biko'. a memorable line from the song: "you can blow out a candle, but you can never blow out a fire; when the flames begin to catch only the wind will blow it higher."

dodgy photo i know; it's on blue-washed heavily-toothed card; 2B, H, 9B Derwent graphic pencils yay!
