One of the greatest leaders in world history has died.  Nelson Mandela, who led his people from the dark abyss of apartheid into freedom, has died at the age of 95.  Mandela not only survived the brutal system of systemic discrimination.  He also triumphed over the hate and anger that such a system breeds by retaining his grace, dignity, and humanity.  He was an inspiration to generations of people and his passing is a special loss to us all.  He will, however, endure forever in the hearts of all those who look forward to the day when race hatred is finally vanquished.

Frontline  has a video of Mandela’s life.  Take the time to learn about this extraordinary person.
