Happy Birthday, Nelson Mandela

Mandela's 50-year fight, including 27 years in jail, helped bring democracy and freedom to the once white-ruled South Africa.
ANC leader and symbol of resistance to apartheid, Nelson Mandela, is seen as he gives the black power salute to the 120,000 ANC supporters packing Soweto\'s Soccer City stadium, Feb. 13, 1990, in Soweto, near Johannesburg, South Africa, shortly after his release from 27 years in prison. Seen below is an ANC marshal scanning the crowd with binoculars.
