Last month, you studied a passage from Nelson Mandela's autobiography ('Long walk to freedom') : it showed you that Mandela considered the oppressors needed to be liberated as well as the oppressed. The former A.N.C. leader might also have said this :

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor

is the mind of the oppressed."

However, he didn't : this quote is excerpted from the speech made in 1971 by Steve Biko, in Cape Town.

The protest song "Biko" was released as a single in 1980 by Peter Gabriel.
