From media critic David Tereshchuk's multimedia site THE MEDIA BEAT, Nelson Mandela's famous declaration to the court in his 1964 terrorism trial, expressing his readiness to face execution. In fact the sentence was reduced to life imprisonment. This rare audio-recording was originally made on "dictabelt" technology and rescued for posterity by experts at the British Library.

  • One of the greatest speeches ever....Viva Madiba! Viva!

  • @M424Filmcast Couldn't agree more. Deep and powerful ... yet not dramatic, in the sense of being theatrical

  • @TMBdt Yes. A true hero. Nelson Mandela has become one of the biggest influences in my life. What an honour it would be to meet him in person. His book: "The Long Walk To Freedom" says it all...even in just the title.
