Nelson MandelaA Nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but it's lowest ones
About This Quote
A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but it's lowest ones. We see violence when our country treats the people who are at the bottom of the ladder. They are treated like garbage when they can't leave because they don't have money. They are beaten and killed out of all the people in the country. It is sickening to watch these things happen in our own country.
