As we enter Week Four of our Caption Contest, we honor a man whose actions freed a nation from oppression and whose words spread wisdom and hope around the globe. Nelson Mandela—anti-apartheid icon, South Africa’s first black president, and Nobel Peace Prize winner—passed away December 5th at the age of 95.

A state funeral will be held Sunday, December 15 in his ancestral hometown of Qunu in the Eastern Cape province. This week, share your tribute to Nelson Mandela’s life and work in Six Words.
