Nobel Peace Prize
Nelson Mandela shared a Nobel Peace Price with F.W. De Klerk in the year 1933.
“Nelson Mandela taught the world the meaning of reconciliation and forgiveness; it is a world that for long has been dominated by the vengefulness and cruelty which the dominant nations of the West have used to dominate international relations. Mandela dug deep into the humanism that is intrinsic to the African world view to help people learn to overcome the pains which came with the atrocities of apartheid, itself a bastard offspring of the Western colonial intrusion into Africa." -Is’haq Modibbo Kawu from Nelson Mandela: 20 Years After the Walk that Changed the World
“He won international respect for his advocacy for reconciliation of white and black. Leading a life that symbolizes the triumph of the human spirit over man’s inhumanity to man, Nelson Mandela accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 on behalf of South Africans who suffered and sacrificed so much to bring peace to the world. His life is an inspiration to all oppressed and deprived and to all who are opposed to oppression and deprivation.” -TheFamousPeople.com
