He inspired the people of South Africa to move beyond one of the most painful period of their history and embrace equal rights for all of their citizens. Mandela leaves a legacy of striving to find the good and the promise in all people and I hope we will see the likes of such a leader again. I send my condolences to the family of Mandela and to the people of South Africa.” f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
