Dean Lawrence and Associate Dean Parker on Nelson Mandela's Legacy
Dean William B. Lawrence and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Evelyn Parker share thoughts on Nelson Mandela's legacy in an essay posted by "º£½ÇÖ±²¥ News & Faculty Experts" (12/11/2013).
Excerpt from Dean Lawrence: His final moment of greatness happened in the way he left us. He died in his own bed, of old age. He had outlasted, outlived, outmaneuvered, outwitted and out-believed all his enemies. He died in peace and left a gift of peace for the whole world.
Excerpt from Associate Dean Evelyn Parker: The accomplishments of Nelson Mandela the activist, prisoner and president are numerous and quantifiable. His Christian beliefs of faith, hope and reconciliation, which influenced the people of South Africa, are unquantifiable.
