Nelson Mandela's Heritage


NELSON MANDELA’S HERITAGE

Nelson Mandela died.. But even after he left us Mandela will always be with us and with the History.  He’s a strong inspiration for all the free men around the world.
Because he fought for the freedom of the blacks but not only for them, when South Africa was applying a brutal racial segregation. He never gave up  and he was in prison for 27 years,  instead of accepting the compromises that were offered to him. And when liberty arrived, when  in 1994 in South Africa,  democratic and interracial elections were held , do you know what Madiba did? He entrusted to special committees  the task or better the duty, to promote reconciliation, to punish who had to be punished but without revenge,  with a new national brotherhood.
How can we measure such a great man? How can we forget him? All the world has a debt with him, with this man that before dying had a great satisfaction:  seeing a Black man as a  President of the  USA.
