Nelson+Mandela

**with** **Chris Claassen**
 * Nelson Mandela – The Man & His Times**
 * [[image:nelson-mandela.jpg]] || We’ll explore the life of this icon of reconciliation in some depth. Many people know surprisingly little about Mandela, apart from the fact that he was incarcerated for 27 years for his political beliefs.

In the first session a PBS documentary, “Mandela:The long walk home” will be watched.

The subsequent three sessions will be a critical discussion of his philosophy, his struggle against apartheid, his presidency & his international stature, based on his autobiography, other primary sources, biographies, histories & You Tube clips.

Plan is for 4 consecutive weeks. ||
