Closing remarks
During the last chapters of this amazing book the
reader is able to realize that what Steve Biko said in previous chapters is totally
true, the government were only able to kill a man, but not his soul and ideas.
In some way it can be said that Steve Biko was a
planter, yeah, a planter because he was able to plant seeds in peoples' mind,
the seed of freedom. After his death, his good friend Mr. Woods and his family started
to plan their escape from South Africa because he wanted to publish Biko’s
ideas, his nonviolence and his view of confrontation, therefore Mr. Woods
believed that the best way to do it was by writing a book and publish it.
After several months Mr. Woods’s work is done. His
mind is up about letting know to the whole world Steve Biko’s ideas. Obviously,
he was not able to publish such a book in South Africa, but he found a way to
leave the country and move with his family to London.
Thanks to Steve Biko’s courage and Mr. Woods’ book the
South Africa Government came down after some years, and the seeds that Steve
Biko planted, finally were able to germinate.
