freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. mr. mandela, in the eyes of millions around the world, you stand against apartheid. against a system that bases the rights and freedoms of citizenship on the color of one s skin. that system is repugnant to the conscience of men and women everywhere. repugnant to the ideals that we in america hold so dear. well rev as we mark what would have been the 100th anniversary of nelson mandela s birth we should note the passing of another world leader, george h.w. bush, the 41st president of the united states passed away and our thoughts and prayers are with his family. as you just saw, he was in the white house when nelson mandela was freed. and south africa was starting to shed the pain that was decades of apartheid. global citizen host trevor noah
