When someone can bring people together not only in life but also in their passing, it truly shows how exceptional a human being they were.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this, a heart that has nonetheless been touched by the life of such an extraordinary man. Whilst saddened by his passing, I seek solace in the fact that he has taken precedence as a legend among the greats.
He has lived an inspirational life, one that transcends race and one that will transcend time. He is a shining example of what we should all aspire to be; forgiving, courageous and relentless in the pursuit of what is just. I am honoured to have existed in a world that he not only lived but one that he made a better place for me and millions of others.
To quote Obama "He no longer belongs to us, he belongs to the ages."
