Nelson Mandela International Day in 2021

Today is Mandela Day, honoring what would have been Nelson Mandela's 103rd birthday. Like Dr. King, he was reviled during his active years fighting for Black equality and denounced by the American and South African right as a communist. Yet he persisted. https://t.co/9afJHVQCQS

"It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones." Nelson Mandela Born this day in 1918.
