Perseverance: steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success

Apartheid: (in South Africa) a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race

Nelson Mandela (92) is celebrating 20 years of being released from a Cape Town, South Africa, jail. He was in a brutal prison for 27 years because of his perseverance to see a South Africa operating as a true democracy. In the words of Mr. Mandela, a South Africa not dominated by black or whites. He is as historic a figure as Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, or Mother Theresa. In RP Movement fashion here is a video to further educate you all on who this icon for humanity truly is.
