England and other parts around the world. I watched as President Mandela of South Africa took to the microphone to talk about his friendship with Princess Diana. and it began to sink In that what she symbolized was someone who was above and was not a respecter of race or color or creed or ethnicity or difference. What she seemed to symbolize to those new immigrants in England. as more and more of them poured out of their homes and hamlets to come and acknowledge this princess of whom they probably had not met. is that she was someone like them. And I think it is important. as we pay tribute to her tonight. that we ourselves should reflect upon what this whole thing of government is all about. that aside from being President or First Lady or Congressperson or governor or mayor or city councilperson or chairman of Apple or chairman of IBM or corporate barons around the world. that we should simply be people. And Diana was someone who gave to us the privilege of being people. whether we suffered from HIV. whether or not we were exploded upon by land mines. we were simply people.
