My all* - Mariah Carey

Later today, Nelson Mandela will be put to rest at his ancestral home. He is gone but he will definitely not be forgotten. I took this photo in London almost 20 years ago:-

The words under his bust is a quote of his - "The struggle is my life". And he truly demonstrated it.

This man is an inspiration to many of us. He was willing to stand up and fight for what is right - equality for all man, not considering the colour of his skin, whether it is black or white. He indeed gave his all for this fight and was willing to sacrifice his all.

His struggle has finally ended as his life on this earth has come to a stop. But for us who remain, the struggle goes on. Racism is still prevalent especially in my country. So our struggle will continue. But we know that those who have gone before us will be cheering us on.
