Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"His stature grew over the 27 years he was imprisoned. He refused any release that would compromise his beliefs. He became an international leader of the oppressed from his cell. Mandela's name helped mobilize a worldwide campaign against apartheid, which would force the South African government, and its racist policies, to fail." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
