Now look at the last paragraph of Mandela's speech:
During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white
domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in
which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I

live for and to
achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
