Inspired by Mandela's Stubborn Sense of Fairness

Our story start in Atlanta, Georgia, from CNN. People who love freedom should be able to remember the day, 20 years ago, when Nelson Mandela was released from a Cape Town, South Africa, jail. While he had been in prison for 27 years of hard work, bitterness, sadness, and isolation, he finally was left to go from the jail. When people asked him what he missed the most in jail, he said it was the sound of children laughing. Now that he is 92, he is very weak on the outside. but isn't on the inside, he is very strong. This week, there are many celebrations in his name, but he won't be going to anyone but one: the celebration of the opening of Parliament and the address to the nation by the South African president, Jacob Zuma. A lot of politians wonder if Mandela should skip this event as well, seeing as President Zuma has a scandalous life with his 20th child and a lot of friends, but if he wants to go to this celebration, he should. Two years ago, the president confessed to have unprotected sex with a friend of his that had HIV, so that isn't good at all. When Mandela went to jail, he did so in orden to preserve freedom, and liberty, which is why he is such a good person. When he was president, he stood for freedom, and that is something that we should always remember.
