Nelson Mandela statue is unveiled

How things have changed since the Apartheid days. I remember when all blacks in SA were treated like slaves and Mandela was called a terrorist. Right wing heroes like Reagan and Thatcher were in favor of Apartheid, incredible though it seems.

Nelson Mandela statue is unveiled
.
A statue of former South African President Nelson Mandela has been unveiled in London.
.
Mr Mandela, 89, his wife Graca Machel, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown were among those at the unveiling in Parliament Square.
.
Mr Brown hailed Mr Mandela as the "greatest and most courageous leader of our generation".
.
The late South African anti-apartheid activist Donald Woods had the idea for the 9ft-high (2.7m) bronze statue.
.
Talking to crowds who gathered for the unveiling, Mr Mandela said: "Though this statue is of one man, it should in actual fact symbolise all of those who have resisted oppression, especially in my country."
