California Congresswoman Maxine Waters shared the feeling of millions around the world following the death of Winnie Mandela on Monday.

Today I mourn the loss of my dear friend & one of the greatest leaders & activists in the world: Winnie Mandela. I worked w/ her on the release of N. Mandela & to end apartheid in South Africa. We should all pay tribute to Winnie's persistence in the face of injustice & racism.
