A video recording of this lecture is not available.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013 at the age of 95, was many things: warrior, martyr, husband, statesman, and moral leader. Having spent 27 years in prison, he succeeded in liberating a country from a system of violent prejudice and united oppressor and oppressed in a way that had never been done before. As he famously wrote: \u201cNo one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion . . . . 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.\u201d His remarkable career led him to be described as \u201cthe closest thing a world has to a secular saint.\u201d No one has explained this complex man better than Richard Stengel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaker: Richard Stengel<\/h2>\n
\"\"\n

As a magna cum laude of Princeton University, Richard Stengel won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, where he studied English and History. He subsequently taught at both Harvard and Princeton.<\/p>\n

He has had distinguished careers in both journalism and public policy. As the longtime editor of Time Magazine,<\/cite> where he wrote more than 25 cover stories, he transformed that publication into a digital and social media powerhouse on a global scale. Under his stewardship, the magazine won its first magazine of the year award. <\/p>\n

In the Obama administration Stengel served as Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, launching numerous programs and initiatives. He serves as a commentator on MSNBC. <\/p>\n

Stengel spent a year and a half with Nelson Mandela, forming an unusual bond as they talked daily, allowing him to see first-hand the African leader\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. The two collaborated on Mandela\u2019s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom,<\/cite> after which Stengel wrote his own book titled Mandela\u2019s Way: Lessons in Life, Leadership, and Love. <\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"season":[591],"class_list":{"0":"post-60182","1":"lecture","2":"type-lecture","3":"status-publish","5":"season-591","6":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNelson Mandela -
