RIP Nelson Mandela

[j_garcia]

Very sad news.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has died at age 95 of complications from a recurring lung infection.

The anti-apartheid leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate was a beloved figure around the world, a symbol of reconciliation from a country with a brutal history of racism.

Kind of eerie that I was listening to the specials last week and made a comment about this song because it harks back to a time when he was still in prison; and that wasn't even that long ago. Much respect to and rest in peace Nelson. G/F said now he is truly free.
