SUMMARY:Dear Mr. Mandela, Dear Mrs. Parks: Children's Letters, Global Lessons 
DESCRIPTION:
 Michigan State University and the MSU Museum, 
 in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Museum 
 and the Keeper of the Word Foundation, helped 
 civil rights leader and former South African 
 President Nelson Mandela celebrate his 90th 
 birthday with a powerful cultural exchange program. 
 The special exhibition "Dear Mr. Mandela... 
 Mrs. Parks: Children's Letters, Global 
 Lessons" opened in July 2008 at the Nelson Mandela 
 National Museum in Mthatha, South Africa, 
 Mandela's birthplace in the Eastern Cape 
 Province.\n
 \n
 That exhibition is still on view 
 in South Africa, and now a U.S. version comes 
 to the Michigan State University Museum. The 
 inspiration for "Dear Mr. Mandela... Mrs. Parks" 
 came from the hundreds of children around 
 the world who have written letters to two 
 individuals--Nelson Mandela of South Africa and 
 the late Rosa Parks of the United States--who 
 are internationally known for their work 
 in human rights. The letters reveal why children 
 revere Mandela and Parks and also young people's 
 desires for guidance and understanding 
 about life. \n
