Impact Detroit Magazine Remembers

NELSON MANDELA
“I have walked that long road to
freedom. I have tried not to falter; I
have made missteps along the way.
But I have discovered the secret that
after climbing a great hill, one only
finds that there are many more hills to
climb. I have taken a moment to rest, to
steal a view of glorious vista that
surrounds me,to look back on the
distance I have come. But I can only
rest for a moment, for with freedom
comes responsibilities, and I dare not
linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

~Nelson Mandela
