Mandela's Speech from the Dock
During my lifetime I have dedicated
my life 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 people
will live together in harmony and
with equal opportunities. It is an
ideal for which I hope to live for and
to see realised. But, My Lord, if it
needs be, it is an ideal for which I am
prepared to die.
Jens
Martensson

secretly write his
autobiography. It was
later published and

Sacrifice
