Mandela Day’ is an annual celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life that will serve as a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make an imprint and help change the world around them for the better. Nelson Mandela has been making an imprint on the world for 67 years, beginning in 1942 when he first started to campaign for the human rights of every South African. The Nelson Mandela Foundation is calling on people around the world to support the creation of an official Mandela Day, to be held annually on July 18, Mr. Mandela’s birthday.

    Genes are so mysterious…usually kids are a combination of both parents but in this case, its like complete opposite. the eldest looks just like the mom with complexion and everyrhin. and the youngest just like the dad with complexion and everything so weird!

      I think the oldest is Forest’s step-daughter.

    Keisha’s starting to crack. I can see her age in these pictures. In the previous ones, she looked so young and gorgeous. She’s still a pretty lady, but she looks older… happens to us all if we’re lucky enough to stick around.

    Damn do the daughters have different mothers? They do not look anything alike.

    The mother doesn’t look healthy at all. I hope the daughter’s donot follow the “starving” trend.

    Although it is very possible that siblings may look completely different (I don’t think my brother and I look alike at all)Autumn is his step daughter. He and Keisha were married in 1996. Both came into the relationship with children. He has a son from a previous relationship named Ocean(b.1990) and Autumn(b. 1991) is his wife’s child. He and Keisha have 2 children together named Sonnet(b.1996) and True(b.1998). However like you said they are a beautiful and strong family and it’s great to see:)

    Forest Whitaker has a son that he doesn’t even care for. A young one, only 18. Kinda effed up how he treats his boy.
