Please join us this Saturday to honor President Nelson Mandela. From Associate Professor Amy Hagopian and the Washington Global Health Alliance: “Now That He Is Safely Dead” Now that he is safely dead let us praise him, build monuments to his glory, sing hosannas to his name. Dead men make such convenient heroes. They cannot rise to challenge the images we would fashion from their lives. And besides, it is easier to build monuments than to make a better world. – Carl Wendell Hines (he was writing about Malcolm X) Saturday at Seattle Center will be the big public gathering to mourn the passing of Nelson Mandela in Seattle. There will be no opportunity for speaking provided. Still, it’s important to acknowledge the force that was Nelson Mandela. Let us just remember his revolutionary spirit, and the courage it took to stand for all he did. Public Candlelight Vigil to Honor Life of Mandela Saturday, Dec. 7 at Seattle Center With the sad news of Nelson Mandela’s death, the Washington Global Health Alliance and Seattle Center are partnering for a public memorial to honor his life.
