Barack Obama delivers the Mandela Address this year.

Watch and listen, if you find yourself with an hour and a half to spare.

I listened to all the speeches this afternoon. It made for a very good afternoon. I may disagree with Obama's continuing belief that capitalism can be any good at all, but he's a good man, and one of the best presidents the U.S. has ever had.

I supposed there were others to listen to, given that other recordings on YouTube related to this event run to over three hours. Would you remember the names of the other people who spoke?

Cyril Ramaphosa spoke, as did Mandela's widow, Graca Machel. I've tried to find a complete list and have been unsuccessful. If I can find one, I'll update this.
