A Tribute to NELSON MANDELA: What did he mean to you?

When I think about Nelson Mandela, the word that comes to mind is PRIDE. 

We are so fortunate to live in an era of such great leaders as Martin Luther King, Jr., Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela.

I believe these leaders leaves ALL people, but especially African-Americans with such a sense of PRIDE that we now dare to dream of a life that is now attainable.  For so long, the world tried to program black people that we are less than the rest of the world.  These brave and daring leaders proved that we are just as good as or better than many. 

God bless you Nelson Mandela and thank you for a life of moral and peaceful existence.  The light you left on earth will always shine bright in my heart!
