"It always seems impossible until it is done"

Nelson Mandela passed away this 5th of December at the age of 95. Mandela was a South African politician and lawyer who was the first black to hold the presidency of South Africa.

He fought against racism, poverty and inequality, and that was the reason why he won the Peace Nobel. He went to prison for 27 years in deplorable conditions, and he became a symbol of the fight against the apartheid. He represented the lack of freedom of all black South Africans.

These are some of the reasons why he has been an inspiration for many people, possibly even for the president of Catalonia Artur Mas. Mandela is going to be buried next Sunday in Qunu, his native village.
