Seeing Oliver Tambo
In addition to Oliver Tambo, Reverend Jesse Jackson gave a fabulous fund raising speech, and Harry Belafonte, Roscoe Lee Browne and Beah Richards spoke. And I was surprised by an embrace from my friends, Abner and Ron, who had spoken to my students earlier that school year. Los Angeles, 1987.

Seeing Nelson Mandela
Inglewood for Mandela bussed us to the LA Coliseum to hear Nelson Mandela speak on June 30, 1990. This was just months after his release in February after 27 years in prison. Four years later in May, 1994 he was elected president of South Africa.
