Pay tribute to Nelson Mandela<br>
and share his powerful words today.<br>

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