Albert Luthuli, Zulu Chief and Nobel Laureate, died on July 21, 1967. At the time of his death, the system of apartheid was entrenched; the goal of Freedom seemed impossibly far. Yet, with faith in God, he believed that justice would one day triumph.

"The struggle must go on. I speak humbly and without levity when I say that, God giving me strength and courage enough, I shall die, if need be, for this cause. But I do not want to die until I have seen the building begun. Come, Africa, come!"--Albert Luthuli

I believe that justice will triumph one day too. It's hard to accept that those entrenched in injustice today will not know it in their lifetimes, tho.
