Mandela's Legacy

Let us reflect on the passing of Nelson Mandela, a heroic fighter for freedom (in the true sense of the word) and justice. He will always be an inspiration and an example for all who struggle for a better world. Mandela's legacy is so great that even many right-wing pols here in the US, like Newt Gingrich, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, feel compelled to render him homage.

It barely merits repetition but there are people out there who maintain that Nelson Mandela was a "communist" and a "terrorist." I suppose those people think that racial equality is somehow "communist." As long as people like that exist the struggle for justice will need to go on.
