Simply that today is the anniversary of Biko's funeral (his actual death was
the 13th of September, his admitted death somewhere between the two).
Biko's work, and his murder had a fairly profound effect on me, and I was
reminded of that today when I heard of the anniversary. I'm not sure
there's anything to debate, but it doesn't really belong in o-t.fun. If it
does spawn any conversation, I suspect it will quickly turn into .debate
material, so I put it here to start.
The quote also seemed relevant to the current debate about restriction of
freedoms in the US.
