Speech at treason trial, April 30, 1964

During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to the struggle of the African people. I have fought against whites domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But my Lord if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. — Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
