Rainbow Appears Over Building Where Nelson Mandela’s Body Lies In State [PHOTOS] »

Mandela Lies in State, and a Rainbow Nation Pays Its
Respects.
On Thursday, a rainbow appeared over the Union
Buildings, the government offices in South Africa’s capital,
Pretoria, where Nelson Mandela’s body lies in state.
Thousands of mourners lined up for hours on the second
day of the public viewing to say their final good-byes to
the beloved former president. As president of South
Africa, Mandela often referred to his country as a
“rainbow nation.”

Quote
Nelson Mandela’s inaugural address:
We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society
in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be
able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts,
assured of their inalienable right to human dignity — a
rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world.

Mandela’s body will lie in state through Friday.
