Mandela, Massachusetts
Proposed City in Massachusetts, United States
About
Mandela was a proposed city that would have been formed as a result of some districts seceding from Boston, Massachusetts.
The districts, including parts of Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan and the South End, were populated mainly by African-Americans and Latinos, and the movement was driven by Black community leaders. The name was inspired by South African anti-Apartheid activist and political prisoner, later President of South Africa Nelson Mandela.
