I knew this was coming for awhile but still sad. Outliving Reagan and Thatcher is sweet though. RIP.

He was blessed with a long and purposeful life. Who else can claim such an enormous world impact even after being locked up for 27 years?? That's what impresses the most. RIP

Yes, truly amazing.

I can still remember him being released, stepping out, and me thinking, "They are afraid of him?"  My first impressions were correct.

Well, J. Edgar Hoover was afraid of Martin Luther King.

Even though he was locked up 27 years, I'm glad that he was able to live another 23 years afterwards. R.I.P.

Jacob Zuma's speech was very moving. Frankly, I was afraid it would have been another Nicholas Maduro speech that was overdramatic and self serving. Fortunately, Zuma kept it solemn and serious.

So for those of you who frequent the Democratic Underground, was Mitty right nine years when he posted this in the thread about Reagan's death?

Quote from: WalterMitty on June 05, 2004, 05:10:04 PM
i bet when nelson mandela dies, those DU posters will criticize his lack of aids policy too.  (holding breath)

Or is DU even relevant anymore?  I never have bothered with the partisan political sites.

When I saw this my heart just sank, Mandela was a true hero for freedom and he will be missed. So RIP Mr. Mandela, you have made the world a better place, now it is time for us to do the same.

RIP

If it had been up to Reagan, he'd probably still be in prison, but the 1986 anti-apartheid act became the first successful override of a foreign policy veto in the 20th century.
