Yesterday, June 30th 2013, Barack Obama was photographed inside of a prison cell at the Robben Island Prison in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Readers may not know this, but this is not Barack Obama’s first trip to prison.\u00a0 His first trip to the Robben Island Prison was in the year 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

From inside the prison yesterday Obama said to his daughters (Natasha Obama and Malia Ann Obama),<\/span> \u201cOne thing you guys might not be aware of is that the idea of political nonviolence first took root here in South Africa because Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer here in South Africa.
