Samora Machel

Slowly typing in Walter Rodney text and came across a quick reference to Samora Machel who led the revolutionary liberation of Mozambique and became their first president. He died, mysteriously, in a plane crash. He had this important quote:

"Of all the things we have done, the most important - the one that history will record as the principal contribution of our generation - is that we understand how to turn the armed struggle into a Revolution; that we realized that it was essential to create a new mentality to build a new society."

Also entered in a brief anecdote about Robert Williams.
