“We
must set ourselves to search ceaselessly for truth in all its forms.
Truth is the only means by which we can contribute to our spiritual and
intellectual development.”
Patrice Lumumba, born 2 July 1925.
Congolese independence leader and the first democratically elected
Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo, after he helped win its
independence from Belgium in June 1960. Only twelve weeks later, his
government was deposed in a coup, and he was subsequently murdered, for
his opposition to the Belgian-backed secession of the mineral-rich
Katanga province.
