The year is almost over and I feel like its been a year for REAL.
We have lost so many great people in the world for a reason. I strongly believe that God makes us great and he only takes the great people to eternal life.
Nelson Mandela, was a great man and his legacy will live on and on.
I will make sure my future children know who he was and what he did.
It saddens me sometimes when people think they know what they are talking about, and don't.
I spoke with a man the other day and he said Nelson Mandela was the President of Nigeria. I looked at him and was like, hmmm, I'm gonna need for you to know your history.
Bless his heart.
Here is a little information on this lovely man via History.com :
The South African activist and former president Nelson Mandela, helped bring an end to apartheid and has been a global advocate for human rights.
A member of the African National Congress party beginning in the 1940s, he was a leader of both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority's oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa.
His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the anti-apartheid movement both within his country and internationally.
Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multiethnic government to oversee the country's transition.
After retiring from politics in 1999, he remained a devoted champion for peace and social justice in his own nation and around the world until his death in 2013 at the age of 95.
Rest in Peace, Nelson Mandela, you deserve it for all that you did and we thank you for it.
If you're going to fight, fight for a cause, not for ignorance!
