Word of the Day: “A dying man does not cry because he is going to a place he knows nothing about, but because of the things he wishes he’d done in the world he is about to leave behind.” – South African Proverb

Today in history in 1958, “A South African High Court Judge rules there is sufficient evidence to charge Nelson Mandela and 94 other anti-apartheid activists with High Treason, a capital offense. The defendants all plead not guilty, and are released on bail, although their request for a jury trial is denied.” – Source: https://www.africatodayyesterday.org/days/30-jan
