Build a Nelson Mandela Memorial

Donation protected
Africa America Alliance is funding the construction of a permanent tribute to Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), the human rights champion and former president of South Africa. A global icon of the struggle for freedom and justice, Nelson Mandela continues to inspire people around the world with the example of his life. His effort to end Apartheid in South Africa is one of the remarkable stories of the 20th century.



Other than a bronze statue outside the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C. this is the first permanent tribute to Mandela to be announced in the United States.The University of Massachusetts Lowell is partnering with the AAA and the monument will be constructed on their grounds.

Africa America Alliance partnered with UMass Lowell Art Department to create the monument. The design by Erin Cahill, Rebecca Dolan, and Josh Rondeau, chosen by the Selection Committee focuses on symbolic elements that represent Nelson Mandela by using his ties with sports to unite the world.
