“Let me tell you what I believe. I believe in Nelson Mandela’s vision, I believe in a vision shared by (Mahatma) Gandhi and (Martin Luther) King, and Abraham Lincoln, I believe in a vision of equality and justice and freedom and multi-racial democracy built on a premise that all people are created equal and are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights.””And I believe that a world governed by such principles is possible and that it can achieve more peace and more cooperation in pursuits of a common good.
Former US President Barack Obama said at Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture in Johannesburg
