We celebrate when diversity and unity is at the forefront in society. In times when it seems hate is more common than love, tweets like these remind us that love can overcome hate.

The former president continued the tweet with more from Nelson Mandela and wrote:

“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love…

“…For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela

We at Unieros will continue highlighting these moments  that bring us closer to a equal multicultural society.
