@DJ – Wow. Thanks for posting these.
The "release-from-prison" pic brings back the feeling I had on that day, at that moment, as my mother and I sat together and watched the entire event unfold (on CNN) before our eyes. I knew immediately that that event would be a a World event that I would never forget.
The selfless sacrifices he continued to make…to say nothing of stellar leadership he provided to unify his country (after his release) and NOT dwell in hate and bitterness_is the mark of rare Man indeed.
Btw: The first pic is my favorite!
Yes thank you DJ. Very nice tribute.
Great pics. I especially like the one with him and Winnie Mandela. I think it is the best of the pics because it showed them unified and that unity helped to break apartheid.
