The world is mourning and celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela, who passed away in South Africa last week at the age of 95. CKUT's Cecilia MacArthur speaks to linguist, political commentator, and activist Noam Chomsky about Mandela's life and legacy. Chomsky explores Mandela as a controversial figure, looking at the problems with mass media's portrayal of him and explaining how we can use his legacy to fight colonialism and apartheid today.
Good job CKUT and Media co-op for getting Chomsky's view.
