Nelson Mandela
These are the heros of our age; people who are willing to hold their vision of a better world above the opposition of the norm.
- Keith Raniere
I remember watching the “Free Mandela” concert when I lived in England. I did not understand who Nelson Mandela was at the time, but I was amazed at the amount of people that came together in a cry for his freedom. It was a cry for humanity. Throughout his life, Nelson Mandela has exemplified courage and nobility in his endless pursuit for us to treat one another as humans regardless of the color of our skin: To put the fact that we are all human - first.
The transformation of a nation from fear and violence - lead by one man with tremendous courage - is an example to all of us. It changes what is possible for each and every one of us.
Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela!
