Nelson Mandela, who died last week at age 95, was memorialized by a massive crowd today in Soweto, South Africa. President Obama, one of many heads of state who took part in today's four-hour service, received a long ovation from tens of thousands crowded into an open stadium in pouring rain. Sudarsan Raghavan was there for the Washington Post.
