Remembering Nelson Mandela

When Nelson Mandela passed away at age 95 this week, the world mourned the loss of a man whose sense of social justice was never corrupted by power and whose capacity for forgiveness was limitless. Mandela’s greatness is not simply that he was an inspirational leader in a freedom movement that had an urgent moral imperative; it is in large part about the way in which he acceded to power in South Africa and began the healing process in a tragically torn society. In this film, Maya Angelou reads a prose-poem in tribute to the memory of Nelson Mandela, issued by the US Department of State on behalf of the American people.
