"It always seems impossible until it's done." - Nelson Mandela
[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

On ##ThisDayInHistory in 1990, #NelsonMandela was released by the #apartheid state of #SouthAfrica. He served 27 years as a political prisoner, often in isolation. In the negotiations and vote that followed, formal segregation was dismantled, but whites still own 3/4 of the land.

Today, we reflect on the legacy of #NelsonMandela, who passed away #onthisday in 2013.
In 1994, just months after becoming South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Mandela spoke at Howard University’s Commencement Convocation, where he was awarded an honorary doctorate of laws degree. In his speech, Mandela celebrated the transformative power of education, acknowledging Howard’s historic contributions to progress.
#OnThisDay in 2003, The first of #NelsonMandela's 46664 AIDS benefit concerts held at Green Point Stadium, Capetown.

*NB: there's no verified evidence that he actually said or wrote it. Mandela spoke extensively on topics of unity, equality, and reconciliation, so the sentiment aligns with his beliefs, but this specific quote does not appear in his documented speeches or writings
36 years ago, Freedom Fest: Anti-apartheid benefit & Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert addresses his continued imprisonment; performers include Whitney Houston, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Stevie Wonder, Tracy Chapman, Hugh Masekela & Miriam Makeba, Youssou N'Dour, Peter Gabriel, Al Green, Joan Armatrading; Jessye Norman, and The Eurythmics at Wembley Stadium, London; broadcast to 67 countries with estimated audience of 600 million

Dieses dokumentarische Portrait soll eine neue Generation begeistern, indem es hervorhebt, wie Südafrika sich der Herausforderung gestellt hat, seine tiefgehende Rassentrennung durch ethische Führung und Aktivismus für Gerechtigkeit zu überwinden.
Vote tallying from Wed's poll was in its final stages on Sat, w/results from 99.53% of polling stations giving the #ANC 40.21%.
The main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), had 21.80%, uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), a new party led by fmr president Jacob #Zuma, had 14.60%, while the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters ( #EFF), led by former ANC youth leader Julius #Malema, got 9.48%.
South Africans angry at joblessness, #inequality & power shortages have cut support for the #ANC to 40% in this week's election, ending 3 decades of dominance in #SouthAfrica by the party that freed the country from #apartheid.
A dramatically weakened mandate for the legacy party of #NelsonMandela, down from the 57.5% it got in the previous 2019 parliamentary election, means the ANC must share #power w/a rival in order to keep it.

Many migrants who have flocked to South Africa since the end of apartheid are met with the colder side of the "Rainbow Nation," a name used by Nelson Mandela and others in the 1990s to describe the nation's aspirations to be a beacon of multicultural harmony. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/27/world/society/mandela-vision-south-africa-migrants/ #worldnews #society #southafrica #immigration #nelsonmandela
#OnThisDay, April 27, 1994, revolutionary leader & former political prisoner Nelson Mandela was elected as South Africa’s first black President in the country's first post-apartheid elections (depicted in Invictus, 2009)
I remember my mom taking me to see #NelsonMandela in #Montreal don’t remember what he said, but I remember how I felt. If we are still warring with our brothers and sisters it’s because we didn’t heed the words of our ancestors.

On 11th February 1990 Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. At the time US government considered Mandela a terrorist, and the African National Congress, a terrorist organisation. Mandela was only removed from the terrorist watch list by the US government in 2008.
