Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela died a few days ago, aged 95. He fought for the rights of Black people in his country, South Africa, and finally became its first Black president after being imprisoned for 27 years.

There are a lot of resources on the web these days, but you can take a look at this quick slideshow.

A few quotes to meditate:  

"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."

"It always seems impossible until it's done."

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
