Nelson Mandela Dies Age 94

I can't find this confirmed at any major news source yet.

Edit: 8 minutes ago, still no confirmation (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-23078373)

I remember well the first time that I heard the name of Nelson Mandela which was through the efforts of the South African Liberation Committee at Michigan State.

They succeeded in getting both the city of East Lansing as well as MSU to boycott companies doing business in South Africa.

End of an era of Social activism. A man with courage like LION, fought with great conviction to bring change in our global society!!! He becomes IMMORTAL!!! RIP

Erm, he has not died yet. Stick with the actual South African news, as it is happening right there, and not some cheap station trying to make "hits" for their site.
