Former president of South Africa Nelson R. Mandela
will discuss "The Export of American Capitalism:
Encouraging or Impeding Democracy Abroad?" live via
satellite from South Africa to the Ralph S. O'Connor
Recreation Center on the Homewood campus at 11 a.m. on
Wednesday, Nov. 12. Mandela's speech will be replayed at 8
p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, in Homewood's Shriver Hall
Auditorium.
Mandela's speech is the final installment of the 2003
Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium, The
Great American Experiment: A Juxtaposition of Capitalism
and Democracy, a lecture series examining how the two
pillars of American society — capitalism and
democracy — interact, and how their interactions
affect Americans.
Mandela was elected president of the African National
Congress in 1991 after being released in February 1990 from
a nearly 30-year imprisonment for his role in the
anti-apartheid movement. Along with Frederik Willem de
Klerk, Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and was
elected to a five-year term as president of South Africa in
1994.
