Given the recent death of Nelson Mandela, I would like to point your attention to his life and legacy of seeking, searching for, and working toward peace and social justice.
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Throughout his life, he served as an inspiration to many for his fight for peace and justice in South Africa and around the world. He is honored with receiving the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, and the US Presidential Medal of Freedom. Here is a look at Nelson Mandela's life, and a few quotes:
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
~ Nelson Mandela
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
~ Nelson Mandela
