LEGACY OF NELSON MANDELA: TEACHING PEOPLE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER


Proham – GMM Discussions

The passing away of Nelson Mandela is a sad event for the world but his legacy is with us. He is a voice for reconciliation and love not revenge or hate. Since the demise of apartheid system we are still confronted by racism in our contemporary world
The words of Mandela have relevance for all of us  for us today. In the Long Walk to Freedom he says

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin,

or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and

if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love,

for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
 
Proham and the Global Movement of Moderates host a discussion to reflect on the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela and his apartheid struggle in building a race free and equitable South Africa and a better world based on the principles of human rights, reasonableness and moderation.
