In 1676, Nathaniel Bacon and his followers, incensed or not being able to acquire native lands that were under treated, defied Governor Berkeley and the treaty opting to launch attacks on native villages killing women and children. As if that weren't enough, they proceeded to march into Jamestown Colony and torch it. The rebellion served the purpose of Native Americans waking up to the fact they stood no chance against the guns of the colonists, prompting their signing another peace treaty in 1677. Also, since the members of Bacon's militia were former indentured servants, plantation owners began to favor African slaves.
Stephen Biko was a Black South African who stood up for the wellbeing of his people and was strongly opinionated. He fought for black consciousness and was aiming to inspire and encourage black pride. Unlike Mandela Biko didn't scheme to bring down the apartheid he spread his word, Biko spent his time preaching to Black South Africans. In 1977 Biko died while held in prison, his death remained in the lives of the Black South Africans and the ANC used Biko's face as a campaign for the South African non-racial election.
