"Steve Biko was a revolutionary and activist often regarded as the father of the Black Consciousness Movement, empowering black South Africans in the fight against apartheid. Biko was viewed as one of the first prolific anti-apartheid icons, and is viewed as a political martyr. In this episode we'll look at Biko's story, his impact and legacy."
Episode 39: South Africa - Black Consciousness
September 2020
Hosted by Astrid and Chinny, the It's a Continent podcast series that challenges the Western notion that Africa is a country.
"There has been a deficit when it comes to learning about African history and understanding why the continent is the way it is today. It’s a Continent goes beyond traditional ‘comfort zones’ of taught history by appreciating the identity of each African nation. Africa has a rich history which standard curriculums have failed to appreciate, and It’s a Continent exists to rectify this by providing listeners with a starting point to understanding Africa’s history."
