Nelson Mandela International Day is observed every year on July 18 to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela, a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, the first black president of South Africa, and a man who is the symbol of power in the face of oppression.
He fought for equality across borders and worldly differences, and advocated the right of every living person to lead a life of dignity and freedom. He remains to be an inspiration and his teachings are still legendary for promoting love over hate and dignity over discrimination.
