“Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.”
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
20 years ago, the school held a millennium parade. The children had to dress up as figures from history.
Martin Luther King and Madiba Nelson Mandela were present.
Freedom seemed so close then.

My final square photo for this month of lines&squares with children lining up. Or is it bloggers already lining up for the next month of squares soon?
Linked to Lines&Squares: #31 in October.
In Germany (and many other European country) Saint Martin’s Day is celebrated on or around 11 November. In our area there are processions of children carrying lanterns, singing songs like “Laterne, Laterne, Sonne, Mond und Sterne”. In larger towns a rider dressed up as a Roman soldier proceeds the children, in remembrance of the legend that St. Martin cut his coat in half to share with a poor man who was clothed in rags. At the end of the procession children are rewarded with a sweet pastry, either a pretzel or in the form of a man. In some areas the children then ring on doorbells to collect sweets comparable to Halloween customs.
The lanterns are often made by the children themselves in class, although some are oviously bought.
