there is a lovely facebook page called African Heritage City run by a lovely lady from the Chi. you can check it out HERE. she posts beautiful images of black people and sometimes gives historical footnotes and inspirational quotes. yesterday, she posted this pictured quote from madiba (nelson mandela to you) and the irony (or is the better word hypocrisy?) of these words just screamed at me. how many 18-year-olds in south africa are still waiting for madiba to shake their hands? for how many of their families has absolutely nothing changed since the end of apartheid? didn't dream (and fight) for change?
