Description

Note the black man sitting in the shade and laundry hanging to dry in the trees right behind the Mandela House tourist information sign. This is a poor neighborhood in which running water in homes or an old laundromat would be luxurious blessings.

The South African activist and former president Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) helped bring an end to apartheid and was a global advocate for human rights. A member of the African National Congress party beginning in the 1940s, he led both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority's oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa. His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the anti-apartheid movement both within his country and internationally. Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multi-ethnic government to oversee the country's transition. after retiring from politics in 1999, he remained a devoted champion for peace and social justice in his own nation and around the world until his death in 2013 at the age of 95.
