[hq2600] From Cynthia McKinney: On the Passing of Nelson Mandela

[HQ]

My condolences to the family and loved ones of Nelson Mandela and to the people of the Republic of South Africa and all of Africa.  I had the opportunity to meet Nelson Mandela on several occasions.  It is true that he was a transformational leader; I also visited Robben Island and saw the prison where he lived and worked and the cell in which he was incarcerated.  Mandela’s is a very moving journey, one that carried the dreams and aspirations of an entire nation and world of people ready for change and alleviation of suffering. And to all of us who work for the day that oppression is a phenomenon unknown to humankind.
