“…the last great liberator of the 20th century.” Pres Obama describing how Mandela came from very humble beginnings and lead the fight to destroy apartheid, and how he retained his humility, his humanity, his humane outlook over the years.

Mandela is an excellent figure for future leaders to emulate—strong but disciplined, humble but fiercely proud of his people, all his people, and what they had to endure to get their freedom back after so many years of colonialism. Ubuntu!

This is an excellent speech. Proud of my President, too.
