Today, the The Human Rights Coalition of the Central Valley (HRCCV) attended the unveiling of Nelson Mandela’s statue in the Fresno State Peace Garden! Dr. Siyabulela Mandela, great-grandson of Nelson Mandela, visited the campus to deliver a key note address, sharing his great-grandfather’s legacy. Board members, Bernadette Vazquez, Gail Gaston, Alex C. Walker, our Founder, Dr. Sudarshan Kapoor, and his wife, Dr. Veena Kapoor, were in attendance. In addition to founding HRCCV, Dr. Sudarshan Kapoor is a professor emeritus of Fresno State, and spearheaded the planning of the Peace Garden since 1990. Both Dr. Kapoor and Gail Gaston served on the committee to support this statue’s addition to the Peace Garden. Together, we celebrate the legacy and peace building of Mandela, and continue to advocate for human rights! #thehumanrightscoalitionofthecentralvalley #HRCCV #humanrights #fresno #fresnoca #pride #fresnoprideparade #centralvalley
