As the world reflects on the legacy of South African President, Nelson Mandela, it’s worth remembering the context by which this great man emerged. The brutal system Mr. Mandela helped to conquer had tentacles that stretched to other parts of the African continent. The system of Apartheid was also a mirror image of what African-Americans were experiencing in the United States. When Nelson Mandela was jailed on Robben Island in 1962, the fervor of liberation was sweeping across the globe. ‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ host, Ron Holland, explores this history and remembers the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
