Steve Biko: The common factor with these people is that they have selflessly pushed forward the struggle of the black man.

State Prosecutor: So, your answer to this so-called "naked terrorism" is to provoke violence in the black community.

Steve Biko: No, our movement seeks to avoid violence.

State Prosecutor: But your own words call for direct confrontation!

Steve Biko: That's right. We demand confrontation.

State Prosecutor: Isn't that a demand for violence?

Steve Biko: Well, you and I are now in confrontation but I see no violence.
