The Make Poverty History meet, Edinburgh, July 2nd 2005
Created | Updated Jul 3, 2005
Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom. Of course the task will not be easy. But not to do this would be a crime against humanity, against which I ask all humanity now to rise up. Make Poverty History in 2005. Make History in 2005. Then we can all stand with our heads held high.
- Nelson Mandela.
