A CELEBRATION AND COMMEMORATION OF TEN YEARS OF FREEDOM IN SOUTH AFRICA
This anthology of poetry and prose grew out of a desire to leave behind a lasting Glasgow legacy of the 10 years of freedom in South Africa and the many years of struggle against apartheid. Glasgow has led the way in the support of Nelson Mandela, being the first Council to award the Freedom of the City to Mandela in 1981 while he was still imprisoned. Mandela himself praised Glasgow for its work against apartheid during his visit to the city in 1993.
