The first time I remember hearing about Steve Biko, I never really understood the story. It was in a Disney channel movie, The Color of Friendship. The story revolves around 2 young girls, one of them a white South African named Mahree, and the other a black American named Piper. Mahree's father is a police officer who is pleased to hear that Steve Biko was arrested. Their family benefits from the system of apartheid. Steve Biko plays a large part in the movie in explaining how the girls get along. This was an excellent movie for children and it raised many issues of South Africa. I was surprised when I remembered Biko from this movie.
