President Obama: See, I've been practicing.

All right, well, I didn't want to leave anybody out here.

I want to thank Vice Chancellor Max Price, who's here,

It's wonderful to have them in attendance.

It is wonderful to see all of these outstanding young people.

I just had the honor of going to Robben Island with Michelle

I knew this was an experience that they would never forget.

I knew that they now appreciated a little bit more the sacrifices

that Madiba and others had made for freedom.

But what I also know is that because they've had a chance

to visit South Africa for a second time now,

they also understand that Mandela's spirit

young people, black, white, Indian,  everything in between --

in a South Africa that is free and at peace.

Madiba's health weighs heavily on our hearts.

of this extraordinary leader and the nation that he changed.

Nelson Mandela showed us that one man's courage

And he calls on us to make choices that reflects

not our fears, but our hopes -- in our own lives,

and in the lives of our communities and our countries.

And that's what I want to speak to all of you about today.

but I actually took my first step into political life

I was the same age as some of you -- 19 years old,

I was going to school on a campus in California --

And I must confess I was not always focused on my studies.

the diversity of America was in my blood,

I didn't think I could make a difference.

And like many young people, I thought that cynicism --

But then I learned what was happening here in South Africa.

and the brutality leveled against innocent men,

women and children from Sharpeville to Soweto.

And I studied the leadership of Luthuli, and the words of Biko,

and the example of Madiba, and I knew that while brave people

were imprisoned just off these shores on Robben Island,

That's why I got involved in what was known

as the divestment movement in the United States.

It was the first time I ever attached myself to a cause.

It was the first time also that I ever gave a speech.

at a rally that we were holding demanding

that our college divest from Apartheid South Africa.
