As part of the planned activity to promote her fantastic new book about her father President Mandela (‘Mandela – In Honor of an Extraordinary Life’), Dr Mandela, along with daughter Tukwini, spent a week in New York at the start of the month.
Dr Mandela inspired the graduating students at NYU, delivering the commencement speech. She also met with students at Princeton University for a book signing and a talk that was very well received
On the Saturday, the Mandelas were guest of honour at Reverand Al Sharpton’s House of Justice in Harlem, attending his morning Rally. In addition to meeting the brother of George Floyd, Dr Mandela had a live discussion with the Reverend before signing books for the congregation.
In addition to some further fireside chats and private meetings, Dr Mandela was interviewed by the Reverend Sharpton on his MSNBC show ‘Politics Nation’
