The pamphlet includes the complete text of the speech by Nelson Mandela on February 11, 1990 on his release from prison along with an introduction. Also, the section "The Struggle Continues: South Africans Respond To Nelson Mandela's Release" quotes responses of some leading South African democratic organizations to the February 2 announcement by F.W. de Klerk that he had unbanned the African National Congress, Pan Africanist Congress and other anti-apartheid groups, announced his intention to release Nelson Mandela and some other political prisoners, and took other measures to "create a climate" for negotiations with representatives of South Africa's Black majority.
