Goodby JBJ we shall miss a truly brave man who fought on behalf of the fearful.
The quote below is Nelson Mandela who in 1964, whilst already serving a 5 year sentence was charged under the Suppression of Communism Act and faced the death penalty.These are the final lines of his opening statement.
“I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an idea which I hope to live to live for, and to see realized. But my lord, if needs be , it is an idea for which I am prepared to die.”
Thank you for all of the effort on this blog
