Yesterday I attended the Centenary Celebration of Nelson Mandela which was hosted by South Africa Partners at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston. Max Sisulu, the former Speaker in South Africa's National Assembly spoke at this event with his wife Elinor Sisulu. This event reflected on the legacy of Nelson Mandela and discussed current issues facing South Africa. One important component of this event covered the importance of making sure young people remain engaged in politics. Elinor stressed the importance of making sure young people read and stay engaged in current events. Due to the rise in social media, historians and political leaders must utilize visual methods to generate activism and share political movements to youth. Social media can propel political movements--the creation of short films, documentaries, and videos could easily become a new medium to inform others about social and political issues.
