Mandela

Yesterday the world lost a guiding light, a personal embodiment of forgiveness, tolerance, peace and hope. Nelson Mandela died at the age of 95 after a long struggle with a lung infection. He changed his country, the world forever.

 
 Rest in peace, Nelson "Madiba" Mandela

"Let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived—a man who took history in his hands and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice." —President Barack Obama
"Today the world lost one of the true giants of the past century.  Nelson Mandela was a man of  incomparable honor, unconquerable strength, and unyielding resolve—a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind.  As we remember his triumphs, let us, in his memory, not just reflect on how far we’ve come, but on how far we have to go.  Madiba may no longer be with us, but his journey continues on with me and with all of us."-Morgan Freeman
