"Obama spoke a few moments later of "Ubuntu", which he called Mandela's "greatest gift: his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that can be invisible to the eye; that there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us."

"Something he perhaps had in mind as he approached Cuba's president."
