R.I.P. my Fellow Miriam

Miriam Makeba was a South African singer and critic of Apartheid. Her music was in the style of African folk and her support of the oppressed never wavered, even when she was banned from her homeland in 1960. She died yesterday in Rome after performing at a concert to benefit those who oppose the mafia. She was 76. Goodbye Miriam, i am proud to have shared a name with you.
