Tromsø's Midnight Sun Brightened by Mandela in Norway
Traveling from a world away, as Tromsø's sharp white modern Arctic Cathedral glistened in the background, 86-year-old Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela spoke before a concert to raise funds for HIV/ADS
Not widely quoted in the news Nelson Mandela made the entire crowd of more than 15,000 people including members of the Norwegian royal family, Africans when he announced "now you're all Africans."

People from Tromsø can now well claim they are African, regardless if they have never been there, and have white skin, it's just a fact, and they are worthy of all due honor and homage for attending this worthy event.
Being so aged, in a light way, it was Nelson Mandela's way of politely saying - you are all Africans - now it's your problem.

Mahatma Gandhi would be proud.
