]]> 1) I remember being a young boy in South Africa when Nelson Mandela was released from prison. I was probably a bit too young to appreciate that moment fully, but I remember watching his first speech since the release and being transfixed. Then, when he became president in 1994, I watched him deliver his inauguration speech… and it gave me goosebumps.
