Mayor Dinkins on Mandela in New York

Nelson Mandela, on stage with Mayor David Dinkins, on his 1990 visit to NYC

We remember the times Nelson Mandela visited New York City, particularly his 1990 visit, shortly after being freed from prison, where he spoke at City Hall, Riverside Church, and Yankee Stadium. Former Mayor David Dinkins, who presented Mandela with the key to the city, remembers the visit. Were you there for his speeches? Do you have memories of Mandela in New York City?
