Nelson Mandela Memorabilia from the Anti-Apartheid Era 'Free Nelson Mandela' campaign 40 items.

All items shown in the montage are not to scale. They have been resized for better visibility. Many of these items are historical artifacts from events that occurred during the 27-year period of Nelson Mandela's incarceration. The various museums around South Africa do not have a comprehensive collection such as this, which details the generally overlooked elements that featured in the Anti-Apartheid Movement era of activism, such as badges, vinyl records, petitions, etc.

This collection includes artifacts from the 1988 Nelson Mandela Freedom at 70 campaign, culminating in a concert at Londons Wembley Stadium to raise awareness of Mandelas imprisonment. Rare items, such as the 1988 Nelson Mandela Freedom at 70 Concert invitation/petition to Wembley and the "Tell Mandela (Things are going to change)" 7 single vinyl record (with original badge), provide insights into Mandelas iconic status and the global anti-apartheid movement. Each item carries a unique story contributing to the historical significance of the collection. These historical items have been thoroughly researched, and relevant information on each item is provided. A detailed PDF is available upon request.
