July is Mandela Month, a special time for us to come together and give back to our communities. This year’s theme, “It’s in our hands to combat poverty and inequity,” calls on us all to make a difference.
Nelson Mandela, often referred to as “Madiba,” was a revolutionary leader and the first black President of South Africa. Born on July 18, 1918, he dedicated his life to the fight against apartheid, the oppressive system of racial segregation in South Africa. Imprisoned for 27 years for his activism, Mandela emerged as a global symbol of resistance, reconciliation, and peace. His leadership in dismantling apartheid and fostering national unity earned him international acclaim and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. Mandela’s enduring legacy continues to inspire people worldwide to strive for justice, equality, and human rights.
