As I posted in the previous entry, whenever we can listen to or read about someone who gives us first hand experience on a historical event we have to take advantage of that situation to know and even "feel" what it was all about.Some time ago I asked my South African friend Marianne Pieterse to write something about her memories of growing up during the Apartheid_the barbaric set of laws that made racism legal in that country for years_ and she committed to the task with such a zeal and dedication that we got into her skin and we could get a glimpse of what it was like to live in South Africa in those times.

I think that all of us learned a lesson...
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. Nelson Mandela
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself. Nelson Mandela
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson Mandela
The last one is one we should believe in!!!
