“Florida A&M University joins the nation in mourning the loss of Nelson Mandela. His quest for equality in South Africa motivated the entire world to stand up for justice and equality for all. His selfless actions to end apartheid inspired a new generation of activists and humanitarians around the globe. When we encourage our FAMU students to stand for something greater than themselves, Nelson Mandela is one of the leaders that comes to mind. He exemplifies the model of peaceful resistance that will continue to inspire generations to come. May his spirit of unity live on in each of us.”
