100 Years of Nelson Mandela: A Tribute

by Flaunt Magazine

July 18 should be deemed a global holiday, as it is the anniversary of the birth of the great activist and leader Nelson Mandela. If he were alive today this would be his 100th birthday. His life of empowerment and fighting for social justice landed him in both three decades of prison and then the role of South Africa’s first black president.

To honor this fearless leader and his contributions to the world, Wax Audio Group has created a tribute vinyl of Mandela’s favorite African Folktales. The release of this audio compilation will come to us in September and will grant us insight into the classic African tales which shaped Mandela into the great man he was.

This audiobook will include readings from Don Cheadle, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L Jackson, & Alan Rickman, with music by Vusi Mahlasela. The goal of this vinyl book is not only to honor Nelson Mandela’s legacy but also to benefit children in South Africa who are orphaned and impacted by HIV/ AIDS.

Here is to 100 years of peace, hope, and liberation!
