Nelson Mandela said, "It may not always be easy, convenient or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always." Mandela was a man who rose above extreme circumstances to speak out when it was easy to remain silent. He took risks to challenge others who were using their power in an abusive way. He stood up for people who could not stand up for themselves. Mandela made a choice to fight for what he believed in at all costs.
