The daughter of my dear friend, the late Elsa Subong, spontaneously came to mind when my online calendar of events flashed that it would be Nelson Mandela Day on Tuesday, July 22.
Why care about an event focused on one who lived in a country almost 12,000 miles away? The question may be raised by one who has a very narrow world view and has not been familiar with the struggle of colored South Africans for equality and justice.
