Grade 12 History - the Black Consciousness Movement Notes 355553

This is a notes-style document on the Black Consciousness Movement covering its origins when Steve Biko and other black students broke away from NUSAS to form SASO in 1968, and how BC ideas grew into a broader movement promoting black pride, self-reliance, and rejection of white domination. It details BCM's community work (schools, businesses, uniting blacks/coloureds/Indians), its spread into Soweto schools via expelled students-turned-teachers, and how this fed into the 1976 Soweto Uprising over Bantu Education and forced Afrikaans instruction, including the deaths of Hector Peterson and Hastings Ndlovu. It ends with the crackdown after 1976, the formation of AZAPO in exile, and Steve Biko's 1977 arrest, torture, and death in police custody.
