www.democracyno... - We end our special coverage of the Nelson Mandela memorial with a video message delivered by the renowned poet and author Dr. Maya Angelou in his memory. They first met in 1962 before he was imprisoned. "Yes, Mandela's day is done," Angelou said. "Yet we, his inheritors, will open the gates wider for reconciliation. And we will respond generously to the cries of blacks and whites, Asians, Hispanics, the poor who live piteously on the floor of our planet."

I was at home when Dr.Maya shared that poem, I was still crying when we lost our beloved TATA, still today we remember him. His day is done, let us begin where he left off.

Once again, I weep... Thank you for giving us the gift of your profound, compelling poetic expression, Dr. Angelou. The comfort your words offer cannot be measured. Thank you, DemocracyNow, for uploading this well deserved tribute to the most honorable President Mandela. Decades will pass before anyone else will even halve his tremendous measure. Peace...
