"With honesty, regardless of our station or circumstance, we must ask: how well have I applied his lessons in my own life?" he asked.
Obama warned world leaders that "we cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not done."
"Around the world today, we still see children suffering from hunger, and disease; run-down schools, and few prospects for the future. Around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs; and are still persecuted for what they look like, and how they worship, and who they love. That is happening today," he said to cheers from the exuberant crowd, braving the rain to celebrate Mandela's life.
"There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba's legacy of racial reconciliation, but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality," Obama cautioned. "There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba's struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people. And there are too many of us who stand on the sidelines, comfortable in complacency or cynicism when our voices must be heard."
