ANC (African National Congress)
What 's the word?
The African National Congress (ANC) was created by Nelson Mandela. This is related to the poem by Gill Scott- Heron because he explains in his poem that people want to be free, "Ain't gonna free me," and
probably Nelson Mandela was trying to help them. In this theory Nelson Mandela created an organization that would help blacks achieve freedom. The ANC was created to end apartheid - separateness.
Steve Biko
His real name is Stephen but as the shortest they come they call him Steve. Steve is an anti-apartheid. He worked alongside with Nelson Mandela and wanted to abolish slavery. Not only did Steve Biko wanted to abolish slavery but many others... though Steve was something more. Steve empowered black people during his time, and also became the president of
"They had to kill him to prolong the life of apartheid."
the Black People Convention. Steve died when he was sent to prison and before he had previous beatings that he took before arrested. On that day everyone that was fond in Steve remembered what he had done for them. Nelson Mandela respected Steve highly in the sense that when he died he had said one of his quotes which was "black is beautiful."

This is also related to the poem made by Gill Scott-Heron because Steve was part of what Gill was talking about. " Tell me that our brothers over there Refuse to work in the mines.", this quote from the poem is connecting to the fact that Steve didn't want to work in the mines neither and so he joined Nelson Mandela on the ANC.
Born on October 7 Desmond Tutu is another person that wanted separation to go. Although a bishop of a church he worked with Nelson Mandela. Desmond instructed marches and declared the world for separation. Nelson Mandela thought Tutu was a great role in the AMC. This is related to the poem because throughout the poem the author is asking if every one knows the word and it would be funny to think the bishop of a church would perhaps know too.
In conclusion...
Thank you for watching!
This poem by Gill Scott-Heron is another successful hind sight way of expressing the way the world was going on around him and that he earns great accomplishment from readers like me.
