From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mandela was a proposed city that would be formed as a result of some districts seceding from Boston, Massachusetts.
The districts, including parts of Roxbury, Dorchester, and the South End, were inhabited mainly by African-Americans and Latinos, and the movement was driven by black community leaders. The name was inspired by Nelson and Winnie Mandela, South African anti-Apartheid heroes.
The proposal was defeated in 1986.
