On this episode of Hard Knock, we present a historic talk featuring Nelson Mandela speaking at the Oakland Coliseum during his first tour after being released from prison in South Africa. On this momentous afternoon, Mandela addressed a captivated Bay Area audience as a symbol of resilience and justice in the fight against apartheid. Best known for his leadership in dismantling South Africa’s apartheid system, Mandela was a freedom fighter, a prisoner for 27 years, and later, the first democratically elected President of South Africa. His unwavering commitment to reconciliation, human rights, and equality left an indelible mark on the world.
