On Saturday, we went to Robben Island, the island on which Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. For some reason, it wasn’t what I expected. I mean, I didn’t theink there would be fireworks, but for some reason, I thought when I got there, something inside of me would spark and I’d be moved to start some big revolution…I don’t know. What I do know, though, is that it’s a land of unsung heroes. Like the Civil Rights movement, South African apartheid has one key person we associate with social justice and change, but he’s not the only person that made a difference. In fact, without the help of individuals like Robert Sobukwe and so many others, there would have been no change. Below are pictures related to Mandela’s imprisonment for those who are interested, but for those who want to know more, email me at aag5111@psu.edu and I’d be glad to share a few things with you.
