 
NELSON
MANDELA (1918-2013)
The Workmen's Circle joins with the
entire world in mourning the loss of President Nelson Mandela, a man of
incomparable strength, vision, and courage and singularly one of
the most powerful voices for change in history. President Mandela dedicated
his whole life to the cause of social and economic justice for all people, a
cause that we share, even when fighting for that cause meant 27 years in
jail.
In President Mandela's name, we urge
everyone today to commit to working to making his vision for a world free of
hate, and one in which education is at the forefront of change, a reality. As
President Mandela famously said, "No one is born hating another person
because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People
must learn how to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can learn to
love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart." We couldn't
agree more.
President Mandela made the world a
better place for us all. Even as we mourn our world's great loss, we
are charged to keep his legacy of justice alive for generations to come.
