we are talking about the passing of nelson mandela. status quo in south africa before the end of apartheid was pretty good if you were white. it's a good place to be. it's a beautiful relinquish country and labor was cheap. we're now many years past that. where are we when you look at this country? and i know you know it well. are we where you think we should be so far into the end of apartheid? >> well, legal me answer that by referring to my grandson who was in the peace corps in south africa. he was in the first peace corps group domg this country. his name is jairch in a small village, he wrote a -- jason for in a small village. he wrote a book, power line, a power line went over the village where he was, which was a black village and it delivered electricity to a white city that was down the line. and he described the situation after nelson mandela was no longer president. that was still almost total ly separate or different between average black person who lived in south africa and the white people who lived in the villages. so i

nelson mandela was although i think we know. he was born in july of 1918 and pass away december 25th at the age of '95 years old. he was a politician and philanthropist and most importantly president of south african that heer e he was south africa's first elected in democratic elections. he focused on dismanlz awe pardon and inkwaem e equality and participated in reconciliation not only in his own country but around the world. he had a role in the bombing trial and was a participant in the trial. nelson mandela received over one hundred and 50 peace prices. so he's an icon in his legacy has helped us including he at the ports waterfront i hope it's already to yearn in his memory >> any public comment on the executive directors report. >> i'd like to speak to nelson mandela. our union the international longshoreman union we're the only union in 1984 that spoke out against awe pardon it was a very broadly bold and we spoke out and there's a ship at the pier 80 that was alter south africa and our union reviewed to unload that ship

and for that reason, how we interpret his life and work will determine which nelson mandela we are actually recognizing and praising. mandela will be missed, but we cannot end our thought there. we must express our appreciation to the creator of all things that this planet was blessed with nelson mandela and those who stood with him in the global elite declared the situation [speaker not understood]. i never thought nelson mandela would be released from jail, and then he appeared in oakland at the oakland coliseum in 1990. that was probably one of the best days of my life. but i just wanted to end with a song, so many songs uplift me from peter gabriel to jerry damers and the special to sun city [speaker not understood] including [speaker not understood], jeffery osborne and others, but i'll just say the ub 40 song is my favorite song of the whole movement. and it goes, we will fight for the right to be free, we will build our own society. we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own songses. when the ancient drum ribbonses ring, the voice of our forefathers sing. forward africa run, ou

>> well, i think what stood out for me was nelson mandela's death. time magian captured him as being a person who was a protestor, a prisoner, and then the peacemaker. and i think after spending 27 years in prison, we all know about that. but coming out, and i think people expected violence and expected war and revolution and they got peace and forgiveness, so i think that is major, when we talk about forgiveness being so important to our faith. and i think it is very impactful for not just a church but also the world. and he is a great example. >> mandela was the number one story of 2013? yes,--2013? >> yes, as i look at it. and then pope francis. he was picked as the personal 06 the year because he is in the center of all of the major conversations of our time, conversations about wealth and poverty, about fairness and justice. about um, transparency and technology, the nature of marriage, the temptations of power. he does not have weapons, does not have that kind of power in that sense, but he has great power, every time he tweets, the world looks

but really, does nelson mandela need a rabbit in his ear?ment of arts and culture say they want it out of there. one spokesman says it does not belong there. no rabbits in ears. the director quentin tarantino put a new movie on hold because somebody leaked the script, and he claims someone famous -- some famous actors and their agents must be to blame. he broke the news in a interview you with "deadline." he said it's "the hateful eight," and he gave the script to no more than six people, actors and agents, including bruce dern, he's a best actor nominee at the oscars for this year for the movie "nebraska" and michael madsen, and the director says he could change his mind, but for now, he plans to try to get the script published as a book. >>> and on this day back in '73, future boxing legend george foreman won the heavyweight title after knocking out joe frazier during the sundown showdown. the fight was supposed to be a buildup to an epic rematch with ali, but big george stunned the crowds and gave an upper cut to the eye when he sent smok
