Barack Obama continues to inspire. While President Donald Trump is often roasted by people because of his tweets, Obama brings peace and restores people's faith in humanity with his recent tweet. By Tuesday night, August 15, the former POTUS' response to the violence in Charlottesville became the most-liked tweet in Twitter's history, according to the representatives for the micro-blogging site.
Obama posted the tweet on Saturday, August 12 in the aftermath of the violent rally which killed three innocent people.

He captioned the photo with a quote from Nelson Mandela's 1994 autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom". " 'No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion…,' " Obama captioned the photo.
