R.I.P Nelson Mandela

Initially our blog post today was supposed to be about the upcoming holidays but in light of the recent occurrences, we opt for another topic - rest in peace Nelson Mandela. A few hours ago the world heard the devastating news that Nelson Mandela has died and even though we all know he's been in poor health recently, the news is still shocking and sobering.
           I was at a friends house - who we'll leave nameless - when we heard the news, "Mandelas' dead" i said, "who's Mandela?" her son asked. I stared at him in bewilderment "Who's Mandela, Who's Mandela" it kept reverberating through my head like a bad echo, but it made me think - how many other youths today have no idea or inclination of who, and the greatness of this man.
          Ultimately i rationalized his statement as youthful ignorance but i kept wondering ... do the kids today only recognize heroes as those with helmets, jerseys and cleats - and what hails for a future generation with no strong knowledge of its past.
