S256 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE January 9, 2009 

years when she was the only antiapartheid member of South Africa’s 

Parliament, Helen Suzman provided 

the voice of reason that reminded the 

world of the injustices that persisted in 

South Africa. 

Helen Suzman’s intelligence, courage, and perseverance helped to end 

apartheid in South Africa. Her contribution to ending that evil has become a symbol of hope for millions in 

South Africa and around the world. 

That is a powerful and inspiring legacy, and it is one I am pleased to recognize and celebrate today.
