The African Studies Center at the Boston University has put together a set of resources aimed at young people who want to learn more about Nelson Mandela, South Africa, and the struggle against apartheid.  The list has a variety of resources:  books, video, music, youtube videos, and more.  If you have kids, families or teachers who want to commemorate Mandela after his death, or are looking for information about this amazing man and his work, please take a look.
