The United Workers Party honors Nelson Mandela, who passed away at age 95. Mandela is admired worldwide for his uncommon humanity in forgiving those who imprisoned him for 27 years due to his political beliefs supporting democracy and racial equality in South Africa. Rather than seeking revenge after his imprisonment, Mandela pursued peace and avoided violence, establishing freedom, racial equality and peaceful change from white to black rule in South Africa. As a messenger of freedom and racial equality, Mandela inspired mankind by convincing South Africans that change could be achieved through peaceful means rather than hostility. He taught the world that civil discourse leads to a more harmonious society. Mandela will be long remembered for spreading freedom and peace worldwide.
