HeadlineJun 30, 2008

And in London, more than 50,000 people attended a star-studded concert on Friday to honor former South African President Nelson Mandela. Mandela turns ninety in July.

Nelson Mandela: “Even as we celebrate, let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete. Where there is poverty and sickness, including AIDS, where human beings are being oppressed, there is more work to be done. Our work is for freedom for all.”
