Today in Labor History September 12, 1977: South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko died after being beaten to death by police. Over 20,000 came to his funeral. His coffin was decorated with a clenched black fist. Biko was a socialist, anti-imperialist and pan-African nationalist, influenced by Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X and the U.S. Black Power Movement.
