To fully understand Biko's commitment as a freedom fighter and a protagonist of the anti-apartheid system, it is vital to look at his Xhosa roots in terms of its role and the life experiences of his mission. Historical and archaeological evidence suggested that the Xhosa people had inhabited the Eastern Cape region for centuries. And along with the Zulu people and their indigenous region, the Xhosa people were systematically and forcibly removed, and relocated to controlled townships-stuffed and squeezed together like "sardines in cans." These are some of the inhuman conditions that contributed to Biko's militancy and anti-apartheid fervor. In addition, Biko was singled out as one of the high-profiled trouble-makers and special, draconian measures were directed against him individually ...
To Prof. Dr. [Carlos Moore], the project is a bold, serious moment for the Black community. "The university which Biko is conceiving should not be viewed as a protest, but as conscious change, visualizing an institution of higher learning which educates the people to think for the community and change it.

Denzel Washington has enjoyed a rather remarkable career. He got his first big break on "St. Elsewhere," as Dr. Phillip Chandler, a character he played during the show's entire six-year run from 1982 to 1988. Even before the series ended, he had a starring role in a feature film, as anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko in Richard Attenborough's "Cry Freedom."

In between, he made a string of hits, including "Philadelphia," "The Pelican Brief" and "Remember the Titans.
