Tomorrow, Nelson Mandela turns 91. To celebrate this occasion, 46664 and the Nelson Mandela Foundation have launched Mandela Day—an “annual celebration of his life and a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to make an imprint and change the world around them.”
Radio City Music Hall is hosting an event tomorrow night commemorating Mandela Day with artists such as Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin. You can purchase tickets and learn more about the event at www.mandeladay.com.
You can also stream the event on the ONE Blog, via the video feed below. We’ll bring further news and clips as they develop.

Just wondering if you’ve found a good plugin to show two pages of comments. I remember you mentioned something about it a couple months ago.
