There were those who supported the racists. Those people cannot be forgiven. Many Americans were ostracized and vilified for their support of Mandela. Those are the true heroes and the ones who were never defended and are marginalized to this day.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and former Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums discuss Nelson Mandela and their work in the U.S. to help end apartheid in South Africa.
