Will Smith and the 46664 concert

On Friday 27 June 2008, Will Smith led a London crowd of 46,664 people in a chorus of 'Happy Birthday' to Nelson Mandela. Before calling Nelson Mandela on stage, Will and his wife explained that 46664 was Mandela's prison cell number as he was the 466th person to be imprisoned in Robben Island penitentiary in year 1964. Nelson Mandela used his prison cell number to launch the organisation 46664 which aims to raise awareness about HIV AIDS, educate young generations, and raise funds to support projects which assist AIDS victims. For Will Smith to help Nelson Mandela, shows one that he is very caring. The fact that Nelson's skin colour is black like Will Smith's, tells us that he has got great respect for his own race. This also shows us that Will Smith is proud of his skin colour and his background.
