Steve Biko is a martyr of South Africa. His life was spent instilling pride and a sense of identity in fellow Blacks, held in subjection by the apartheid policy of the white government. Not since Hitlers Nuremberg laws has any community suffered under so monstrous a burden of racial regulations. The quotation on the scroll he holds in the icon is how he defined "Black Power" during a court trial in 1976. The Greek inscription by his head reads "Holy Steven." Biko was imprisoned several times for his work and "banned." He died in prison on September 12, 1977, after being tortured and beaten. He was not a regular church-goer, but he laid down his life for Christ. All human beings bear Gods image. Whenever human dignity is abused, Gods image is violated. At the Last Judgment Christ has told us He will say, "Whatsoever you did to the least of my brothers and sisters, you did to me." (Matt. 25:40)
