My family and I visited his house in S. Africa, seven years ago, my 19 year old son cried.
Mandela is a hero in a time when TOO many are given that title for SO much less.

3. Rec'd. Interesting that, much like MLK, there are still people in this world

convinced that Mandela was a terrorist. Never let it be said that people capable of finding the absolute worst in ANYTHING don't exist.
