So, in light of what I wrote above, I am CELEBRATING the man, Nelson Mandela, who spent many years in prison for his beliefs and for trying to make a change for the better in this world. Nelson Mandela, you are my Hero!
"South Africans are observing the twenty year anniversary since the country's elder statesman Nelson Mandela walked free from an apartheid prison. The anniversary is being marked with a symbolic march from the prison, speeches, and exhibits at museums."
"His stature, his mere presence, and that is when I thought that myth and man merged, to be the Nelson Mandela that we finally saw in our presence. A man of unbelievable resolve; resolve that you picked up as you shook his hand, as you looked straight in his eyes, and as he talked to you," he said.
