Nelson Mandela’s Captive Audience: My Hero, Page by Page

Tags: South Africa,
Ko Bo Kyi spent years in prison after protests over the army annulling Burma's 1990 elections. Pages of a magazine article on Mandela's autobiography were smuggled into Burma's Insein prison where he was jailed. A song about Mandela sustained Kyi and fellow prisoners in prison. He escaped to Thailand in 1999 after a second prison term and quickly obtained a copy of Mandela's "Long Walk to Freedom."

Stories of prisoners fighting for Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance.
02/07/2010
From Burma, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Haiti and other places where human rights advocates have spent time in prison. The stories all are inspired by the day when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years, and the smile on his face, after years of repression and confinement.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
