He is a true hero. The quote of him which you shared says it all about the personality of this great man. The message he tried to spread was so simple. What I learn from reading about him is that- "It's very easy to hate someone but it's rather easier to love others. " Great post Becky. Wonderful tribute to Nelson Mandela. He is a true hero.

What I loved about reading 67 Ways to Change the World is how easy it is to make a small difference. It's all of our small differences that add up to making a big change.

You always make me want to do better in the world, Becky! I remember watching TV, waiting for Mandela to be released from prison. I don't think I fully grasped the significance at the time.

I am an adult literacy tutor at the Library and I go tutor today and that seems to fit with Mandela Day. I'm also a volunteer with hospice of SB. It was really interesting reading more about Nelson Mandela. I loved the first quotation on the page that you used. Thank you, Gwen I just received this comment via email:
