Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners
Salutes
Hon. Nelson R. Mandela
Former President of South Africa
As Mayor of Miami-Dade County and on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, I take great pleasure in presenting this official salute to recognition of your outstanding achievements as the former President of South Africa. In bestowing this salutation to you, it is appropriate to remember the long 27 years behind bars you suffered for your unwavering belief in justice and equality for all men. Hence, no better words can describe your character than the one stated by a famous American writer who once said: "Courage is grace under pressure."
On this 15th day of the month of July 2001, in Miami-Dade County, Florida
Signed by: Dorrin D Rolle (Commissioner District 2), Alex Penelas (mayor)
