Monday quote by Mandela (1918-2013) – Video
Did you know Nelson Mandela’s true name is Rolihlahla Mandela? Born into the Madiba clan in the Eastern Cape, on 18 July 1918, Mandela’s primary school teacher decided to give him the name « Nelson », in keeping with the custom of giving all schoolchildren British names, thus denying their true African culture. Watch this narrated version of Mandela’s story to discover how he ended apartheid in South Africa and fought for equal rights.
“ I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. ”
