History has a way of spiraling in ways that may be demoralizing. Yet a new generation may be introduced to thIs great man and his story by way of the film "Cry Freedom". Then it will be inevitable to become inspired by absolute necessity to read not only biography but actual journalistic transcription of the martyred humanitarian Mr Biko himself. Praise for this bravery and persistence at great sacrifice. These words resonate today as we seek unity still.
