Nelson Mandela
On February 11th 20 years ago Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. This is a historical day not just in the South African community but in the community period. This marked a beginning of change that has spanned over the years.
It was the grand finale of sorts and a grand one indeed, the previous events that week leading up to his release were Feb. 2, then-President F.W. de Klerk announced the unbanning of the ANC and other organizations. On Feb. 10, de Klerk announced at a press conference that Mandela would be released the next day.

It is a part of history that should be remembered as well as respected by everyone.
