Steve Biko is probably best known because of the film Cry Freedom by South African politician journalist, Donald Woods. Steve Biko was born in Cape Province on 18 December 1946 just a few months before the National Party came to power in South Africa. He went to law medical school at the University of Natal in Durban, but as a black student he could only study in the non-European section of the university. He became involved in politics and was one of the founders of the South African Students Organisation (SASO) an all-student black organization. He believed that black students should be accepted on their own terms as an integral part of the South African government community. In 1973 the government banned SASO and restricted Bikos freedom of politics speech and his movement. In 1977 Biko was arrested and taken to Port Elizabeth where he died in prison. He was only 31 when he died and may well have become as important in South Africa as Nelson Mandela.
