Nelson Mandela

On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela made an address upon his release from his unjustly prison sentence. In this speech he calls for hope and preaches change in South Africa. He also preaches his views on the damage, and destruction that apartheid has caused in South Africa. He calls for an end to it and hopes for a future where it is non-existent. He calls for uniting his country, and ending the suffering of his people. He places this task in the hands of everybody stating no lone man can accomplish this task. It's amazing to hear a man speak so positively after going through such a negative and unfair time in his life. This man was in prison for years for simply trying to help, he never lost hope, he never gave up. He came out of prison a stronger man, with strong beliefs. That courage and strength is unbelievable even to me. 

Truth and Reconciliation is a address that reveals past wrong doing by a government. Nelson Mandela's address on this is now considered a model today.
