Description

"It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

TQS from Nelson Mandela on an off-white 8.5 x 11 sheet of Republic of Transkei letterhead, which is signed and dated in black ballpoint, “N. Mandela, 10. 6. 91.” The quote, as taken from the Rivonia Trial on April 20, 1964, reads: “During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
