Answer:

He defined Black Consciousness as "an inward-looking process" that would "infuse people with pride and dignity". To promote this, the BCM adopted the slogan "Black is Beautiful". One of the ways that Biko and the BCM sought to achieve psychological empowerment was through community development.
