The rooms are not only named after freedom fighters, musicians, artists or activists, but also reference the respective personality with books, pictures, information and other means.

Steve Biko, in full Bantu Stephen Biko, (1946-1977), was a South African anti-apartheid activist and the founder of the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa, as well as the South African Students Organization (SASO), which was a Black alternative to the liberal National Union of South African Students (NUSAS). His ideas were articulated in a series of articles published under the pseudonym Frank Talk. His death from injuries suffered while in police custody made him an international martyr for South African Black nationalism.
