Through his guidance, he led the campaign to defeat the apartheid through non-violence, peace, and dialogue.” “I had the opportunity to visit South Africa and Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. I found the experience both moving and humbling to see firsthand what he endured to set his people free, reshaping the fate of a nation.” “President Nelson Mandela is the father of his nation. He gave up so much to rid his country of injustice and may his sacrifice and endeavors stand the test of time.” ### Watch Congresswoman Beatty's speech honoring Nelson Mandela. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
