after 27 years in prison for nelson mandela. 30 years of exile for most south africans in the struggle. it came also with a joyous harbinger of reconciliation, national unity, and a forgiveness. so, i think we transit -- transcended a lot of the bitterness of the past. how people can be different and unite despite past and its ease -- and the t -- emnities. >> turn the clock back a little bit and tell us and little bit about growing up in south africa in the 1960's and 1970's. >> far more in the 1970's -- but i come into a south africa in the 1970's where my parents had been absolutely fearsome -- or fearful, rather, of the turbulence of the 1960's. the 1960's would be the decade in which nelson mandela goes to jail, the anc and other political organizations are banned, the leadership of the movement going into exile. there is the killing of people in places of -- like soweto, a mysterious death of the african national congress president. and so, people grow into the 1970's in a very fearful moment. and that a generation was traumatized. the generation i come from have no direct memory

but we were going to go to south africa because mandela got it in the constitution. and we thought what an extraordinary way to honor a man and a country that was really grappling with major issues. and then we decided to do it in the united states instead. and if i may be personal for a minute, i was an intern for jimmy carter. i wrote a grant that got $250,000 for grady hospital to set up the first rape crisis center in the south. that grady would -- outside of miami. grady would not hire any black counselors. so as an only arrogant 21-year-old could do, i gave the money back. you know, and -- i know. how stupid? right? but we set up the multiarea rape crisis counsel and, by god, sandra flowers and i ran it. most of the people we saw were african-american. when i wrote a grant for the carter administration and when he was governor to start up maternal infant health care, they set up the program but they let me go because they thought that i might be a lesbian. okay. now 20 years later, bill clinton is in the white house and my partner and i get invited to every chr

mandela hadn't been seen in public since 2010.e benedict is feeling a backlash from american catholics, angry over his crackdown on america's 57,000 nuns. a letter from the vatican warned them that the group that represents most of the nuns is straying from church teachings on abortion and homosexuality. that group is meeting in washington this week to consider a response and we have more now from wyatt andrews. >> i need infant mask. >> reporter: in the emergency room at johns hopkins children's center in baltimore, dr. karen schneider is about to save an infant boy who can't breathe. >> you call in respiratory? >> reporter: this is not just a job for dr. schneider, it's also her life's mission as a catholic nun. sister karen schneider became a sister of mercy 29 years ago before she attended medical school. are you more dr. schneider or more sister karen? >> you know, i wake up in the morning and i think of myself as sister karen. i think being a physician, actually, is one of the best things that we can do as sisters. >> report

mandela in his effort to show reconciliation hired him after the end of apartheid. but now the health professionals are trying to strip him of his license because he didn't act in a manner con consistent with the hippocratic oath. his argument is that he was a soldier following orders. we heard that before. so i wrote this piece for the "new yorker," the week that the final verdict is supposed to come down. it's continuing on the 27th of march. and at the end, i quoted -- i talked about how the pain continues to come back even though people are trying to shed this pain from apartheid, and i said, but some people have a different view of it. and there was a guy who called into the radio station. and he said, i don't know why everybody is being so hard on what he did during apartheid when american doctors are injecting prisoners on death row with lethal injections and they are part of torturing prisoners at places like guantanamo bay whom they are trying to get testimony about terrorism things. so, you know, the things -- what we should realize is that as much as many
