I will miss him terribly. Was taking South African history at North Carolina Wesleyan College when he was let out prison. Watched it live in class. Amazing. Read Long Walk To Freedom 6 or 7 times. Amazing book. One of my four heroes ( Mandela, Roosevelt, King and Lincoln). Lastly, I am a doctoral student at the University of South Africa-Pretoria. Mandela is an alumnus of the school. Yep, he rocks. :)

My post on Facebook.....


I normally do not post anything that is remotely political ( and this is not a political post..LOL), but Nelson Mandela is one of my four heroes (Franklin Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and Dr. Martin Luther King) and his passing brings sadness to me. I am a doctoral student in history at the University of South Africa-Pretoria and I am proud to attend a school that counts President Mandela as an alumnus. My prayers are with South Africa today.

"We share this great loss with many all over the world because President Mandela was one of us – an illustrious alumnus with whom we took the long walk in his thirst for knowledge and education, culminating in his acquiring all his degrees, BA Law and LLB from Unisa."
