Cuban President Raúl Castro was among the speakers at today's memorial to Nelson Mandela. In an unprecedented exchange, President Obama shook Castro's hand as he made his way to speak at the podium. "Let us pay tribute to Nelson Mandela," Castro said. "The ultimate symbol of dignity and unwavering dedication to the revolutionary struggle, to freedom and justice, a prophet of unity, peace and reconciliation. As Mandela's life teaches us, only the concerted effort of all nations will empower humanity to respond to the enormous challenges that today threatens its very existence." We also air a video clip of the 1991 meeting between Mandela and Fidel Castro in Cuba.
