Today we humbly honor the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, and a leader in the struggle against racial oppression and apartheid. He dedicated his life to building a better world based on racial equality and justice. #Mandela100
At the request of former President Mandela, LDF's fifth Director-Counsel Ted Shaw led several delegations to South Africa. Mr. Mandela asked LDF to help train Black South African lawyers, because there was no history of experience with constitutional litigation, in South Africa.
Mr. Mandela's speech from the dock in his trial at Rivonia in 1964 remains one of the most powerful, moving and riveting public statements of personal commitment to the fight for justice and equality. #Mandela100 #MandelaDay

In our work to end racial oppression, we at LDF strive to uphold Mr. Mandela's values. We are forever indebted to his character, his persistence, his dedication, his humility, and his unwavering commitment to his people. Thank you, Madiba. #Mandela100 #MandelaDay
