| 'Sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great.' |
Dear Lucy,
Nelson Mandela's unwavering courage, forgiveness and hope touched and inspired people all around the world. He showed that the dream of a just society is possible and he challenged our generation to lead the way towards it.
As Mandela said in his extraordinary 2005 speech in London's Trafalgar Square, 'Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.'
And he ended his speech with a call that moves us still.
'Sometimes,' Mandela said, 'it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.'
One way to honor Nelson Mandela's memory is to share those words to prove every day that this generation can be the great one that ends extreme poverty.
Share his words now.
Michael Elliott
President and CEO, ONE
