... new life.

It's never too late.
The new year has started and plenty this is my first post for 2009. First I would like to wish a better year for all the people who deserve it and all those who, in their small, struggling every day to make the coming year better than the left.
This year I want to give more space to the story, the characters who have contributed to improving the lives of everyone of us, through large and small gestures.
begin telling the story of Stephen Biko . Steven Bantu Biko
was born December 18, 1946 in King William's Town, South Africa. His family was very average and he was a brilliant student who was expelled from his university for his political activity in multi-racial organization, the NUSAS (National Union of South African Students). He continued his studies at another university and all its political activities to combat apartheid, was officially founded in 1948 and broadly on the following principles:
...

• prohibition of interracial marriage;
• Law according to which sexual intercourse with a person of a different race became a criminal offense;
• law requiring citizens to register as whites, blacks,
• law allowing to ban all opposition that was labeled by the government as "communist" (used in 1960 to outlaw the African National Congress (ANC), the largest political organization, which included blacks, the socialist but not communist);
• law that prohibited people of different races to get in some urban areas;
• law prohibiting people of different color to use the same public facilities (fountains, waiting rooms, platforms, etc..)
• law providing for a series of measures all designed to make it more difficult for blacks access to education;
• law that sanctioned racial discrimination in the workplace;
• law that established the Bantustans , a sort of "reserves" for the black population, nominally independent but actually under the control of the South African government;
• law which deprived of South African citizenship and rights related to it's inhabitants the Bantustans.

In 1956 the policy of apartheid was extended to all citizens of color, including Asians. In the 60's 3.5 million blacks called Bantu were forcibly evicted from their homes and resettled in the homeland of the South ". The blacks were deprived of political rights and civil. They could attend only the establishment of special agricultural and trade schools. The shops were the first white to serve all customers blacks. They must have special internal passports to move into white areas, under penalty of arrest or worse. "(From Wikipedia)

In 1968, Steve Biko became the co-founder and first president of SASO (South African Students' Organisation ) un'gruppo inside the Black Consciousness Movement ("Black consciousness movement"), in order to awaken the consciences of the blacks in South Africa through lessons and activities. Since 1973, the South African government put the index and his political activity was considered dangerous and subversive. He was made a physical and psychological warfare, a series of arrests and beatings, until August 1977 when the first stopped at a place block of the police, then jailed, was arrested and brutally beaten for 24 days until 12 September 1977, when, following a further beating, she died.

An autopsy revealed that he was head trauma, un'emorraggia due to a boarded up, while the then Minister of Police stated: "Biko's death leaves me cold." (Biko's death leaves me indifferent).

The story did not leave indifferent Peter Gabriel, who in 1980 published the song Biko, which follows the video and the text:

September '77 (Sept. '77 )
Port Elizabeth weather fine ( Port Elizabeth, good weather )
It Was Business as Usual ( was the usual work)
In police room 619 ( In police room 619)
Oh Biko, Biko, Biko Because ( Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko)
Oh Biko, Biko, Biko Because ( Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko)
Yihla Moja, Moja Yihla [* ]
-The man is dead ( The man is dead.)

When I try to sleep at night ( When I try to sleep, night)
I can only dream in red ( I can only dream in red)
The outside world is black and white ( The world outside is black and white)
With only one color dead ( And only one of these two colors is dead. )
Oh Biko, Biko, Biko Because ( Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko )
Oh Biko, Biko, Biko Because ( Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko )
Yihla Moja, Yihla
Moja-The man is dead ( The man died. )

You can blow out a candle ( You can blow out a candle )
But you can not blow out a fire ( But you can not extinguish a fire )
Once the flames begin to catch ( Once the flames will begin to take root )
The wind will blow it higher ( The wind blows over the top. )
Oh Biko, Biko, Biko Because ( Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko )
Yihla Moja, Yihla
Moja-The man is dead ( The man died. )

And the eyes of the world are ( And the eyes of the world )
watching now ( Now, they're looking )
watching now. ( Now, they're looking )

on Biko was also made a film, directed by British director Richard Attenborough and released in 1987 , entitled Cry Freedom (original title Cry Freedom), which tells the story of the last days of Steve Biko.

Stephen Biko would awaken consciences because " The most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
