There was no particular day on which I said, Henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.” ~ Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, imprisoned for 27 years, President of South Africa (1994-1999)Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson MandelaRatings and Comments SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
