Mandela snubbed in Miami amid Castro clash
Nelson Mandela arrived in Miami to a chilly welcome as local officials and Cuban-American leaders denounced his support for Fidel Castro. A crowd outside his hotel chanted for him and for South Africa, while AFSCME planned a speech and police prepared for demonstrations. Mandela defended non-violence yet urged liberation for oppressed peoples and vowed to continue the struggle for a democratic, non-racial South Africa.
