Poverty, slavery and apartheid

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity; it is an act of justice.
Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it
can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes
it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation.
Let your greatness blossom.” Nelson Mandela
