July 18 is the 95th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela, who has been hospitalized with a lung infection for more than five weeks. In honor of the antiapartheid leader's legacy, the United Nations has designated July 18 as Nelson Mandela International Day. Supporters in South Africa are celebrating Mandela's birthday with song, dance, and messages of support to the former leader. In Johannesburg, Mandela's ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela led a prayer service in his honor. (Reuters)
