Nelson Mandela's Upcoming Birthday

Whether you've heard already or not, my man Nelson Mandela will be turning 90 years old this July 18, 2008. For his party he's going to be having a big concert in London with various names from the music industry. I just checked out his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, and I intend to begin reading it tonight. He really is a hero. My favorite African news website follows him pretty closely: http://www.news24.com/

P.S.How does this pertain to my blog, you ask? The book is art and Mr. Mandela is part of a culture.
