It is with deep sadness that I recently learned of the passing of my revered icon, father, scholar, writer, mentor, freedom fighter and human rights Activist who abandoned his comfort zone and made a conscious choice to spend his entire life fighting for the freedom of all the oppressed people of his country, and those of the entire world. I have had the priviledge of spending time with Dr Jordan during my stint in Albany NY from 2005 to early 2006. The time I spent with this legend can not be replaced by anything in this world. He made sure that he opened my world view to re-decorate it with corrections to my misconceptions. I'm proud to say that right now, half of the things I know, and those that I continue to share with others as a "pay forward" endevour were engraved in my mind by him. By the time I left the States he had informed me that he was in the process of rewriting the South African History with another retired scholar from Albany. I hope this dream, which he held so dear has been converted into reality. If not, one will never rest until such is done. May your soul rest in peace tata wam. May the Heavens open doors for you to retire in eternity, for you have made your meaningful contribution to mankind. I love you with all my heart. Till we meet again!!!
