Nelson Mandela Inaugurated as South Africa’s First Black President
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Mandela served as the first democratically elected President of South Africa (1994-1999). His political activism began in the early 1950s with a commitment to non-violent mass struggle. Later, his anti-apartheid activities resulted in his imprisonment for nearly 30 years. Released in 1990, he was elected president of the African National Congress and represented it in the turbulent negotiations that led to the establishment of majority rule. With whom did he share the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize?
