Description

WMPG celebrates the lives of Black men and women throughout the month of February. Nelson Mandela was a South African revolutionary, philanthropist, political leader, and anti-apartheid activist. After spending 27 years as a political prisoner because of his anti-apartheid work, Mandela was released in 1990 and elected South Africa’s first Black Head of State in 1994. In 1999, he turned down a second term and went on to become an elder statesman fighting poverty and AIDS.
