Dear friends, This poem on the link below from Maya Angelou is a gracious tribute to Nelson Mandela. However, to me, it misses mention of the South African people who maintained a connection with him, while continuing to fight and die, like Steven Biko, for example, during Mandela's time in prison. For if it had not been for them, Mandela would have gone mad, as 27 years in confinement always does. The black people of South Africa are still not free. The racists have simply replaced themselves with black stooges!
Amandla! (Power)!
