At Robben Island, African prisoners were given shorts. Ahmed Kathrada was given long pants. He refused to wear long pants and wore shorts like his comrades. #KnowYourHistory

During Rivonia Trial, Ahmed Kathrada had an opportunity to appeal his sentence and get off or get lighter sentence. He refused and tied his fate to that of his comrades. 1/2 #KnowYourHistory
