As one who remembers the "Black and White" divide of the 60s (Obviously of much longer history) I recall, and looked up to Freedom Fighters like Mandela and Doctor King. Sadly MLK didn't see the resulting Changes to the USA but both he and Mandela, in Conviction, Conscience and humility are true role models to aspire to - meThinks
Seems a lot's been said about the Man today For me:- Was the alternative acceptable? = Was the cause just, and Fair to/for - all? Was one there at the time / place - Suffering? = First hand experience of status, situation of Living in/at the time? As a Black man, was his appeal specific to such persona? - or not? What was the 'Aftermath' of Actions taken? = How many Revolutionary Leaders' have been supported by the Western World, only to become Evil Dictators? Does the end justify the means? = Is the legacy of Change something to be proud or regretful of? "One man's Terrorist is another's Freedom Fighter"
