Nelson Mandela and Dr. King are no longer here to lead, but their example and their vision continue to show the way.

RT @RPCoalition "What do you think of the comment "Santa is white and Jesus was too" made by @FoxNews' @megynkelly?? http://wp.me/p1e3TI-lE "

Dr. King & Nelson Mandela, both arrested in 1962; each was aware of the other. Each saw their national struggle in an international context.

In celebrating Mandela, we focus on his willingness to forgive, but pay too little attention to those who did the persecution.

Political power can come from the support of voters. Entertainment power comes from the applause of crowds.

Mandela, like Jesus, Gandhi & Dr Martin Luther King, met external prosecution with internal character, indomitable will and stoic sacrifice.

Those who serve and sacrifice for a cause greater than themselves accrue power from their honor, their example, and their inspiration.

#Congrats Pope Francis: Time magazine's Person of the Year. As a human transformer with sensitivity and character he deserves the honor!

The Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. advanced first. We used our new strength to help end apartheid in South Africa.

May the memory of him & his good works capture a place in our hearts.

In 1984 and 1988, my presidential campaigns called for sanctions on South Africa as a rogue nation.

It was difficult to look in Nelson Mandela's face lying there dead, he freed a lot of people.

Nelson Mandela had no financial fortune. He led no armies, won no victories on the battlefield.

#Mandela jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 with F. W. de Klerk for their efforts to dismantle apartheid. He was a global peacemaker.

I was in Capetown in 1990 when Mr. Mandela was released from prison after 27 years.

I will never forget the moment I was able to greet Mandela after being freed. He became a transformative force because he did the unusual.

Please join us for the Nelson Mandela Memorial service Friday night at 7pm at Rainbow PUSH Headquarters.
