Works Cited Primary Sources Interviews Brand, Christo. "Interview: Christo Brand." Interview by John Carlin. PBS.

WGBH, n.d. Web 20 Mar. 2013. When we learned about the prison guard that became friends with Mandela, we knew that it would be something to look into. Finding this interview opened up our eyes on South Africas people. Christo Brand helped give Mandela hope and is a critical part to Mandela becoming a turning point because he helped shape Mandelas forgiving state when he was released from prison. De Klerk, F. W. "Interview: F.W. De Klerk." Interview by John Carlin. Frontline. PBS, n.d. Web. 7 Apr. 2013. F. W. de Klerk played a very important role in Mandelas story as he was the one who officially released Mandela and worked together with him to end apartheid. This interview gave us more insight about how he was involved and helped to play a part in becoming a turning point for South Africa. We received another white perspective on the situation from this interview which helped to balance our research and see the other side of the conflict. Hollingsworth, Tony. "Interview with Tony Hollingsworth." Telephone interview. 5 Apr. 2013. An interview with such a huge power in the industry, especially regarding releasing Nelson Mandela, was a blessing for our project. Tony Hollingsworth, the man who organized and produced two major musical tributes to Nelson Mandela, was kind enough to sit down for an interview with one of us. He talked about his experiences organizing the event that would reach 600 million viewers worldwide - the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute as well as that aired after his release from prison. It was very interesting

to hear how his event contributed to the eventual release of Mandela, and how the world became more aware of Mandela and South Africa's situation. Overall, it was a very informative experience and we sincerely appreciated Hollingsworth's help for giving us the best interview we have had yet. Kathrada, Ahmed. "Conversation on International Affairs." Interview by Harry Kreisler. Conversations with History. UC Berkeley, n.d. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. The experiences of Ahmed add onto the overall struggle that Mandela and his men had to go through to get what they had fought for. Hearing and reading about another account on how prison was like makes our topic more personal to show how horrible men like him were treated at the time. From this interview we learned more about the suffering that Mandela and his friends had to go through to become a turning point. Mandela, Nelson. "Nelson Mandela's Release." Interview by James Robbins. BBC. Web. 14 Dec. 2012. This video, sourced from the day after Mandela was released from prison, is very precious to us. It is an interview given on the day after Mandela was released from prison, and features footage of him walking out for the first time. Although we weren't alive to experience seeing Mandela walk out for the first time, watching the video made us feel like we were really there. It is amazing how much of a turning point Mandela was, even in jail. We used a short segment of the video, the first interview question, on a section of our website. Mandela, Nelson "Oprah Talks to Nelson Mandela." Interview by Oprah Winfrey. O, The Oprah Magazine Apr.2001: n. pag. Oprah.com. Web. 25 Nov. 2012. As we read through this interview, we developed strong feelings for Nelson Mandela. Through his answers we could see the struggles he went through to become the turning point that his country

needed. The interview gave a better perspective for us as to what went through Nelson Mandelas head during these hard times and exactly what he did to get through it. Oprah was able to ask many good questions that helped to go more in depth on some of the events that were critical during this process of getting rid of apartheid. Mandela, Nelson. "President Nelson Mandela One-on-One." Interview by Larry King. CNN. Cable News Network, 16 May 2000. Web. 9 Dec. 2012. Nelson Mandela answered many important questions during this interview. Larry King was able to ask questions that went deep within Mandelas thoughts through his choices and decisions. Upon reading the transcript of the interview we learned why he became president of South Africa and why he fought as hard as he did. Although he was the one being interviewed, he never failed to bring the attention to the many other people who helped make him a turning point for South Africa. We learned more about Nelson Mandela as a person and a leader through this interview. Speeches Mandela, Nelson. "Address by Nelson Mandela to the Conference of the Pan-African Freedom Movement of East and Central Africa." Speech. Conference of the Pan-African Freedom Movement of East and Central Africa. Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. 12 Jan. 1962. South Africa's National Liberation Movement. The African National Congress, 28 July 2010. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. In a charismatic, famous speech given by Nelson Mandela, we learn about the struggle for freedom and how much the government has been opposing it. Mandela highlights exactly many points where their attempts were thwarted. In addition to clearly showing us many anti-apartheid events in context, this speech also gave many

quotes to use on our website. The speech, just judging by length itself, shows us truly why Nelson Mandela became the turning point for South Africa. Mandela, Nelson. "Nelson Mandela`s Statement from the Dock at the Opening of the Defense Case in the Rivonia Trial." Speech. Rivonia Trial. Pretoria Supreme Court. 20 Apr. 1964. South Africa's National Liberation Movement. The African National Congress, 28 July 2010. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. The most surprising thing about this speech is the curt sentences and truthfulness. Nelson Mandela delivers this speech from the dock at the Rivonia Trial, and he openly admits to all the things he has done. It is blatantly honest, which is an admirable quality of Mandela that truly shows why he deserves to be called a turning point of South African history. Tambo, Oliver R. "Appeal for Action to Stop Repression and Trials in South Africa." Speech. Meeting of the Special Political Committee of the General Assembly. New York. 8 Oct. 1963. Gale World History. 2006. Web. 23 Dec. 2012. This is a speech delivered many years before Mandela's presidency, documenting Mandela's influence as a young man. In Tambo's well written speech, it is easily understood how extreme the conditions of South Africa were becoming, and how vitally they needed a turning point to arrive. He delved into the scary reality of genocide under the guise of "justice" in his country. From his speech we also found some very useful quotes that accurately portray these injustices in a couple sentences. Letters Mandela, Nelson. "Address by President Mandela at the 53rd United Nations." Letter to United Nations. 21 Sept. 1998. Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, n.d. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. From Mandela trying to eliminate the use of nuclear weapons,

we can see a bit of his character in this letter. This is part of what he tried to achieve as he was president and is an important part to his presidency that made him a turning point. His thoughts and leadership skills can be seen from reading the letter and his fight for equality is continued with the fight to stop the use of nuclear weapons. "Letter to Zeni and Zindzi Mandela." Letter to Zeni and Zindzi Mandela. N.d. Nelson Mandela Digital Archive Project. Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, 20 Mar. 2013. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. This source features a heart-wrenching letter from Nelson Mandela to his children. He wrote it from within prison, and obviously did not try to sugar-coat anything for his children. He blatantly tells them that the days of being a regular family are done, and they will essentially be orphans for a while as both of their parents are in prison. It is heartbreaking to read and really demonstrates the oppressiveness of government at the time. After reading it, we really understood and respected Mandela more as the turning point for apartheid. Books Gordimer, Nadine, and David Goldblatt. Lifetimes under Apartheid. New York: Knopf, 1986. Print. This collaboration book is a combination of strikingly truthful writing and stark, revealing photographs. Both authors being born in South Africa and white, they describe their hesitant participation and observations of apartheid. This source was mostly photographs, containing more than 60 primary sources that were extremely beneficial to our website and our research. It was very apparent where the turning point arrivedthe passages and pictures got lighter and more hopeful as the years reached the 1990s.

Mandela, Nelson, Kader Asmal, David Chidester, and Wilmot Godfrey James. In His Own Words. New York, NY: Little, Brown and, 2003. Print. Nelson Mandela made many speeches throughout his life. Many speeches were necessary for him to change the point of view of the multiple South Africans who still strongly supported apartheid. His words were needed to keep the hope of people strong and to not let them stop fighting for equal treatment. Mandelas speeches were significant for the journey of becoming a turning point. It was very helpful because little explanations of each speech were given and also gave the authors insight about the meaning of the speech. Mandela, Nelson. Conversations with Myself. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010. Print. A lot of quotes could be found from this book. As opposed to average biographies, we got to peek into Mandela's thoughts. Because of this different perspective, we got to relive Nelson's actions as if we were in that point of time and experience for ourselves how he became a very critical turning point for South Africas history. We used it as a good reference for quotes, as it contained multiple documents and was a good source of primary documents that we could scan and use in our website. Mandela, Nelson. Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela. Boston: Little, Brown, 1994. Print. Mandela has his own personality and style that is clearly evident while reading his autobiography. It is not a story about someone who looks back on their life and writes about what they remember, but it is a story about Nelson Mandela and how he felt write at the moment of the event. Mandela shares every little detail and is sure to give a thorough overview of the background information needed to understand what he went through. Personal accounts and stories are what make this book very

inspiring and interesting. He truly is a turning point and continues to inspire millions with his fight to not only end apartheid but to reunite South Africa. Mandela, Nelson. Mandela: An Illustrated Autobiography. Boston: Little, Brown, 1996. Print. Although this had the same information as his autobiography, the pictures in it proved to be very useful. It didnt just give pictures of Mandela, but it gave pictures of the people who were involved in apartheid. These pictures helped us in our project because we could scan them and use them for our website to show the faces of the citizens who were fighting alongside Mandela as well as the oppressors that let this happen. He did not become a turning point alone and this book shows the other people who helped to end apartheid as well, like FW de Klerk. Periodicals MacLeod, Scott. "Nelson Mandela." Time 7 Jan. 1991: n. pag. Time. CNN. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. Mandela is recognized as a hero by multiple people and this article helped us prove why we think he is a turning point. Being named Man of the Year is a very important achievement that captures what Mandela had done for his country. Wren, Christopher S. "A Nation Saved." The New York Times 6 Apr. 1997: n. pag. New York Times. New York Times Company. Web. 20 Mar. 2013. An important part to reuniting South Africa was the cooperation of F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela. Through this article, we learned the importance of both leaders learning to work together for the better of their nation. Nelson Mandela and F. W. de Klerk collaborated to become the turning points in joining together South Africa by setting aside their differences and truly agreeing what they thought would benefit all the people of South Africa.

Press Releases The African National Congress. Emergency Committee. Statement by the Emergency Committee of the African National Congress. The African National Congress. N.p., 3 Apr. 2013. Web. 3 Apr. 2013. This material, like any material of the past, is astonishing to read because it really opened our eyes to the situation surrounding Mandela. This press statement, written by a furious ANC at the time when they were banned, was both articulate and courageous. Instead of complying with the ban, the ANC publicly refused the government and demanded better conditions in the same document. Clearly, Mandela was the turning point for the ANC as well as all of South Africa; it is very easy to see his influence in this statement. Pamphlets The ANC Calls on You - Save the Leaders! N.p.: ANC, 1963. Print. This source from 1963 shows very clearly the attitude of the ANC at this point in their struggle. Gone are the days of peacefully protesting; the pamphlet shows how angry the ANC had gotten over the trial of their leaders. They are trying to reach out to the people to stop the wrongness of the situation at hand. It clearly demonstrates that Nelson Mandela did not become a turning point on his own, but had many people backing him. We Are at War! N.p.: ANC, 1968. Print. The ANC has become the face of the anti-Apartheid movement in this point of history. This pamphlet shows the unwavering determination of the organization - they are determined to make a change no matter what their opponents may throw at them. They proudly proclaim that the government is afraid of them as an organization, which proves true when analyzing other incidents. It demonstrates how much of a turning point both Mandela and the ANC made for the people for South Africa.

Although he is a very busy man, he was kind enough to answer me. Despite his short answers, they still proved to be helpful and gave us another opinion about Nelson Mandelas actions.

"Discussion of Nelson Mandela." E-mail interview. 15 Dec. 2012. Laura Mitchell is a South African professor at UCI, and was a very thorough and helpful interviewee.

Although many people believed that rugby was not going to

solve their problems, Carlin showed what Mandela believed and what he wanted to achieve through all this. Denenberg, Barry. Nelson Mandela: "No Easy Walk to Freedom": A Biography. New York: Scholastic, 1991. Print. Barry Denenberg made Mandelas life easy to understand and not at all overwhelming. It did not drag on about one part of his life and kept things interesting. The book was very easy to follow and to understand without getting lost. It presented enough information to know exactly what was going on in each part of the book. It was a great book to give very solid background information about everything in Nelson Mandelas life. Denenberg provided with a book that revealed the process that Mandela took to become a turning point that many South Africans were waiting for. Duke, Lynne. Mandela, Mobutu, and Me: A Newswoman's African Journey. New York: Doubleday, 2003. Print. Told from a newswoman's viewpoint, this book is very unique in that it gives an essential point of view: one of a bystander. The most noteworthy detail, is how much information on the background is provided. The turning point in this devastation is with the arrival of Mandela and his protests. South Africa is clearly very affected by his force, which is very easy to appreciate from Duke's point of view. This book was idealor a new point of view and inspired us to pursue Mandela further. Lapping, Brian. Apartheid: A History. New York: G. Braziller, 1987. Print. Being a book published in 1987, the source was almost in that it contained a lot of primary sources but because it was not written by someone who experienced it for themselves, it is a secondary source. It delved into the history of apartheid from over 300 years ago, explaining the development and evolution of the worst political theory to exist. We found a surplus of quotes that were very monumental in describing the extreme racist conditions

of these times. This source provided an excellent background on Mandela and the discrimination he and his fellow Africans suffered before he became the turning point for the misery. Leach, Graham. South Africa. New York: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1986. Print. Written by the BBC Southern Africa Radio Correspondent, this book goes into explicit detail on South African history from 1976 to now, and what is anticipated for the future. Also included were some very horrific shots, featuring, for example, one of black council official being beaten and set on fire by a hostile crowd after accused of operating with white authorities. Those types of photographs are not ones easily forgotten, and reminded us of the horrors of this time, and treasure Mandelas turning point even more. Lodge, Tom. Mandela: A Critical Life. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2006. Print. This extremely revealing biography answers the highly regarded question: "To what extent did Mandela self-consciously create the status of political hero that he now enjoys?" It describes the struggle Mandela's private life had suffered in order to build up his political career. We learn of how he had really earned his political fame and why his turning point should be celebrated for years to come. The book was also filled with pictures we had never seen before on the internet of his earlier years, which proved to be a unique and great addition to our website. Meredith, Martin. In the Name of Apartheid: South Africa in the Postwar Period. New York: Harper and Row, 1988. Print. We felt the need to discover more about apartheid in itself, as it was the first thing we were unsure about upon beginning our research on Mandela. Upon researching the author of this book, Martin Meredith, we discovered his ties with South Africa and his vast experience with apartheid. It also made us appreciate

Mandelas turning point for South Africa even more; we felt relieved as we had been so caught up in the story we felt as if we were really a part of the struggle. Meredith, Martin. Nelson Mandela. New York: St. Martin's, 1999. Print. This biography was of a new and revealing type. We discover the pain and struggling Mandela went through during prison on Robben Island, home of South Africa's worst political prison. The pictures were also very moving; detailed images of Mandela and his prison mates crushing stones in the yard and other hard work. However, Mandela was still smiling courageously through the labors. We felt that Mandela was really strong seeing those types of courageous feats, and very deserving of his title as the turning point for South Africa. Russell, Alec. Bring Me My Machine Gun: The Battle for the Soul of South Africa from Mandela to Zuma. New York: PublicAffairs, 2009. Print. This vivid account of South Africa after apartheid shows how much progress has been made, but how much still needs to be fixed. The author made the complicated history of South America very interesting and comprehensible. We learned a lot from this book, from propaganda to economy to social classes. As well as being very informative, there were many first-hand accounts and quote-able texts. It also demonstrates the turning point of many aspects of Mandela's efforts, namely the ANC. Sampson, Anthony. Mandela: The Authorized Biography. New York: Knopf, 1999. Print. As far as biographies go, this was by far the most thorough we have found. Being over 600 pages long with very accurate subsections, any question we had about Mandela was easily answered. His turning point was so defined and apparent to us that we were amazed. We used many pictures from this book, including: Mandela speaking in the

prison courtyard, Mandela on his way to the trial, Mandela singing at the trial, Mandela sparring in his youth, Mandela voting for the first time, Mandela walking with F. W. Klerk, two pictures of an older Mandela in his jail cell, Mandela in charge of an ANC meeting, the accused at the Treason Trial, and an ANC ban protest. Waldmeir, Patti. Anatomy of a Miracle: The End of Apartheid and the Birth of the New South Africa. New York: W.W. Norton &, 1997. Print. Because our project focused on Mandela and his effect on the world, this book was immensely informational for our research. He was the one who united the two fighting groups which is why he is a turning point. This book had primary documents and letters from not only Nelson Mandela but F. W. de Klerk as well. We scanned an image of one of Mandelas letters and used it in our Prison section. We learned many things after taking a look into this book and it helped us form our conclusion and we learned more about the impact that Nelson Mandela made because of his choices. Periodicals Dugger, Celia W. "At 91, Mandela Endures as South Africas Ideal." The New York Times 9 Nov. 2009, New York Edition ed.: A1. The New York Times. The New York Times Company, 8 Nov. 2009. Web. 2 Dec. 2012. It has been quite a while since Mandela has retired and as of this moment he continues to spend his days of old age. This article depicts Mandela after he has retired and how he still affects South Africa.

Along with that, it was definitely a quote abundant resource that we used very much to our advantage in our timeline. McGreal, Chris. "Chris McGreal's Key Moments in Africa." The Guardian. N.p., n.d.
