I am pleased to be here today as we launch this very important project that seeks to record the history of our liberation struggle, to keep track of the road to democracy and celebrate the heroes and heroines who have built and walked along this difficult road. It entrenches itself in the soil, issuing root after root, to spread and spread and spread.
Some roots end up on rocks, baking in the sun.
Some end up in sand. The tall tree, spreading its branches all around, gives shade to the weary. The Movement, like the sea, is deep, is vast, is reflective. It can be calm. It can be rough and tough.
