It was - indeed, still is — rich in gold and diamonds , but it was also a poor country, where people were forced to live together in small, dirty houses. It was
a country of black people, with a government of white people. It was a country of contradictions.
Steve Biko was a black political leader who wanted to bring together the black and white people of South Africa.
Donald Wood s wa s the white editor of an important newspaper, and he wanted to help Biko. They were both good men, men with a vision o f the future. But South Africa chose to silence them by banning them — and worse.
This book, and the film on which it was based, were created in order to inform the world about what was happening in South Africa in those years.
