“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”
-Nelson Mandela

This blog post comes to you at the 11th hour of February 11th, 2010, however I’d like to show my appreciation and respect to Nelson Mandela.

President Nelson Mandela was released from prison on this day, February 11th, 20 years ago. This is after he was marked as a terrorist by the Afrikaan ruled South American Government. Nelson Mandela’s only crime was standing up against apartheid, while seeking equality for his people. If you recall his South African comrade, Steve Biko was accused of similar acts years later.

Mandela’s restitution was earned by being elected President by popular vote in 1994 by the same country that persecuted him.

Nelson Mandela, a true hero, an agent for change and a CDT Freedom Fighter.
