MAY THE BLACK GOD STAND, PLEASE! BIKO’S CHALLENGE TO RELIGION1

At some stage one can foresee a situation where black people will feel they have nothing to live for and will shout out to their God: “Thy will be done. ” Indeed, His will shall be done but it will not appeal equally to all mortals for indeed we have different versions of His will. If the white God has been doing the talking all along, at some stage the black God will have to raise his voice and make Himself heard over and above the noises from His counterpart (Steve Biko)
