Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today on the passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela. Rep. Price is the co-chair of the House Democracy Partnership, which works with parliaments in developing democracies. "Nelson Mandela's struggle to end apartheid in South Africa is an incredible testament to the power of perseverance against both personal adversity and societal inequality. During nearly three decades of imprisonment, Mandela galvanized the world's conscience against the wrongs of his government, but it was his subsequent leadership of that government that truly set him apart. As President, Mandela brought a spirit of grace, dialogue, and reconciliation to the country's politics that fostered healthy civic institutions and laid the foundation for a vibrant, inclusive society. In short, Mandela harnessed the aspirations of his people in the most positive wayto fix injustice and right systemic wrongs. His legacy will continue to endure and inspire for generations to come." # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
