Mandela and Pericles

1.Stephen Biko and the Athenian soldiers who were praised by Pericles have in common: both died fighting for what they thought was important. Biko died in an African prison and the soldiers died in a war. Therefore i can not support this with any quotations.

2. Mandela was trying to keep alive "the flame of patriotism which burnt in their hearts and minds of the like of Steve Biko; to redeem the pledge to give up a more human face to society for centuries trampled upon by the jackboot of humanity...." 2b. Mandela hoped to accomplish for his country; by forging a new and prosperous nation, also continuing to fight in which Steve Biko paid the supreme sacrifice."
