we met with desmond tutu, my former survivor at the council of churches decades ago, winner of the nobel peace prize and someone who helped lead the peace and reconciliation process in south africa. and we heard from today's chancellor of the university of cape town, nelson mandela's widow and our reflections were interrupted by student protesters demanding a more justice in today's south africa, a jarring reminder that even the greatness of the remembrance of bobby kennedy and nelson mandela is not enough to still the relentless yearning for more, more justice and more equality by the youngest amongst us. -- among us. i still today believe in nelson mandela's vision for the world, a world governed by justice and quality and peace. but it's important to remember just how much we have to do together as a global community, to hear each other, forgive each other and get there. nelson mandela once famously said i'm not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who just keeps trying. so today let us remember nelson mandela's relentless triumph, his historic contribution to south africa

"king made a speech for the radical redistribution of political and economic power. participants were told that the speech
