One of a Kind Framed Nelson Mandela Autograph withCOA

  

One of a kind 37" x 19" framed Nelson Mandela collection--includes photographs and Mandela signature. Education is the great engine of personal development.

It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given that separates one person from another. In the 1940s, he was a leader of both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority's oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa. His personal convictions landed him in prison for nearly three decades. Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa. Mandela remained a symbol of peace and social justice in his own nation and around the world until his death in 2013 at 95.

This autograph from 2003, at the age of 85 is beautifully presented in this framed piece as a great reminder that Education is the great engine of personal development. 100% of sale proceeds will go to the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation. When he was just 15, Brian LaViolette's life was claimed in a swimming accident.

On the day of his funeral a promise was made that in his name and memory great things would be accomplished. Thanks to the support of thousands, that promise has been kept through the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation. Since 1992, 1160 scholarships have been presented to deserving college-bound students in Northeastern Wisconsin, the United States, and other parts of the world. Students have been impacted and inspired, along with the schools, families and communities that the foundation serves.

The Foundation continues Brian's legacy by helping high school seniors achieve their educational dreams.
