Nelson Mandela was born July 18, 1918 and died Dec. 5, 2013.
What would be Nelson Mandela’s 97th birthday is Saturday, and the world will spend the weekend remembering the legendary leader. Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison and famously brokered the end of the apartheid in South Africa, served as the country's first black president from 1994 to 1999. From then until his death from a respiratory infection in 2013, he advocated for democracy and peace.
Today, people everywhere celebrate Mandela Day, which the United Nations General Assembly created in honor of the activist's birthday. Mandela Day's website encourages participants to abide by his three moral rules: free yourself, free others and serve every day. It's a chance to make the world a better place.
