Nelson Mandela… freed!

Nelson_Mandela

Victor Verster Prison, Paarl, South Africa

It was (only) 20 years ago today that the great Nelson Mandela was finally freed, following 27 years in prison. I find it interesting (and seemingly as pertinent today as in decades past) to note how one group or nation’s “freedom fighters” are often labeled by the opposing group or oppressing nation as “terrorists”…

Nelson Mandela was finally removed from the United States’ No Fly List or “terrorist watch list,” in July of 2008… at the age of ninety!
