Arthur Chaskalson was no stranger to the resistance activism can face in the pursuit of progress; in 1963, he and his legal team failed to prevent Nelson Mandela's imprisonment. However, Chaskalson had the fortitude to continue, establishing legal and non-profit organizations and leading South Africa's first Constitutional Court, eventually tearing down the apartheid system that kept black South Africans subjugated for decades. His is a story of progressive heroism, dedication, and an unflinching belief in law and civil rights.
