Nelson Mandela International Day is an annual international day in honor of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, Mandela’s birthday. The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010. He was lauded for leading the charge to put an end to apartheid in South Africa and then went on to serve as President of South Africa for 5 years after he put an end to it. He is an inspiration to all who knew him and a hero for the ages. Mandela Day recalls the life of Nelson Mandela and reminds us of the necessity for strong men and women to stand up against injustice.
