Nelson Mandela International Day Announced by the United Nations

New York, N.Y.  Nelson Mandela is about to be released from the hospital, his health condition now stabilized. A South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician, he is the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation.
