Gr 8 Up—This work commemorates the 20th anniversary of Mandela's election into the presidency and the 50th anniversary of his landmark speech during the Rivonia Trial. Interviews, eyewitness accounts, speeches, and music bring this audio documentary to life as listeners hear from Mandela as well as those who fought for and against him. Listeners are taken on a journey from the birth of apartheid in 1944 to 1994, when Mandela was the first black man to be elected president of South Africa. Whether listeners know his story well or are just getting acquainted, this audio is enjoyable to listen to and memorable. It includes a full transcript, which allows users to find a particular section with ease.—Karen Alexander, Lake Fenton High School, Linden, MI
