Named one of Time magazine s Most Important People of the Twentieth Century, Nelson Mandela continues to be a symbol of equality and justice around the world. Despite spending nearly three decades incarcerated, Mandela never abandoned his commitment for a democratic and free society. Upon his release, Mandela went on to earn a Nobel Prize for his efforts to dismantle racial inequality and elected the country s first Black president. Written by his daughter, Dr. Makaziwe Mandela, Mandela: In Honor of an Extraordinary Life features never-before-seen family stories and photographs, letters, and a collection of charcoal drawings and paintings Mandela began at 83 years old. Through this artistic expression, Mandela aspired to step out of his comfort zone and share a part of himself he hadn t revealed before. With chapters chronicling Mandela s childhood, time in Johannesburg as leader of the African National Congress, family relationships, imprisonment, and role as president and philanthropist, along with poetry by South African poet and anti-apartheid activist Mazisi Kunene, Mandela: In Honor of an Extraordinary Life allows readers the opportunity to delve into the life of the man that continues to galvanize so many.
