Can't say the same for Martin Luther King Jr...
Obviously not but his spirit is alive and well. A national holiday, a Boulevard in his name in every major metropolis in the country, a preserved hotel recognized as a historical national monument honoring the location of his assassination.
All shitty details following his tragedy, of course, but a memorial worth chatting about.
They honor Mandela similarly where you are?
Indeed
Not as much here.
Mandela was South African and I stay in Nigeria.
So most of his commemorations are there
But he is still extremely well respected and recognized here though.
