In the early 1960s, Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid and the South African government by creating uMkhonto we Sizwe, an armed wing of the African National Congress. It was labelled a terrorist organization and Mandela was thrown in prison for life. He ended up serving 27 years and was released by President F. W. de Klerk on February 11, 1990. To commemorate the event, the South African newspaper City Press ran the victorious headline “Mandela Goes Free Today.” It’s straightforward but beautiful, heralding the end of apartheid and the beginnings of Mandela’s historic political career as the 1st President of South Africa.
