Mandela's Legacy at the Freedom Center (Cincinnati, OH)

More than 40 photographs taken by Willman are now on exhibit in Mandela: The Journey to Ubuntu at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. It takes visitors on a journey through Mandela’s life and South Africa’s route to racial equality. Willman came to Cincinnati for the exhibit’s recent installation. 

The photographic journey begins in Mandela’s birthplace in the village of Mvezo and follows him to the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria, where Mandela and other anti-apartheid activists went on trial in 1963, and finally to Robben Island. Four of the photos on display were personally chosen by Mandela to represent the 18 years he spent imprisoned there.
