  • Story Text: South African President Nelson Mandela joined prominent black leaders for a church service on Sunday (October 2), the second day of his first visit to the United States since he was elected president in South Africa's first all-race election last April.

    Mandela, who arrived in New York on Saturday, visited the Canaan Baptist Church in Harlem for a church service with former New York Mayor David Dinkins, Reverend Jesse Jackson and the New York politician, Reverend Al Sharpton.

    His trip, which will include a speech to the United Nations, a meeting with President Bill Clinton and meetings with business leaders, blends a goodwill celebration of South African democracy with a bid for foreign investment.
