February 11, 1990. Nelson Mandela Is Released from Prison
Description
“I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people”—those are the first words pronounced by Nelson Mandela after his release from prison, after 27 years of incarceration. The event struck a chord worldwide, reminding us that South Africa, historically, was not only the first country to be colonized but also the last country to be decolonized.
