Sometime in the early 1990s I saw Nelson Mandela as a guest on Sesame Street.  I have hunted and hunted but have been, thus far, unable to find the episode. I also saw a link on You Tube  on the same page as the Stevie Wonder Sesame Street superstition video, months ago, but have been unable to retrieve it.  Perhaps it has been pulled, or googly associations and links profiles are too googly for me to find what I want.  The googly “suggestions” are always wrong.    For advertisements, a year or so ago I was able to access the “profile” that had been compiled of me.  I am an 85 year old Republican Male.  Hahahaha.   Anyway, dunno how to find this video.  If anyone runs across a link, please post it in the comments.  Purty please.   Thank you.  Bear

Nelson Mandela, the civil rights leader who rose from a small village in rural, apartheid-era South Africa to become the country’s first black President, died on Thursday at age 95. Mandela’s election in 1994 ended three centuries of European domination of indigenous African people of the region.

He was a champion of freedom, who spent one-third of his life in a prison cell; a revolutionary who espoused armed conflict against the state, yet became a global icon of peace and moral virtue.

Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, died on Thursday at the age of 95. Archbishop Desmond Tutu called him “one of the greatest human beings to walk this Earth.”

Certainly he was a giant of the 20th century, an extraordinary leader who — like Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and Pope John Paul II — confronted the oppressors of his time and, against enormous odds, changed the course of history.

Although best known for skilfully leading South Africa out of the violence and racial hatred of apartheid, Mandela’s greatest legacy is the magnanimity and moral purpose he constantly demonstrated to the world.
