Nelson Mandela, George Bizos

George Bizos, left, arrives for his 80th birthday party with former president Nelson Mandela, right, in Johannesburg Wednesday Nov. 12, 2008. Few lawyers are considered to have done more to challenge the apartheid government than George Bizos, lifelong friend of Nelson Mandela. Bizos fled Greece in 1941 with his father, who had helped seven New Zealand soldiers escape German-occupied territory. Bizos helped shape South Africa’s constitution and continues to be a passionate human rights activist. (AP Photo/Denis Farrell)
