nelson mandela and apartheid.

apartheid is a racist segregation policy used by the government of africa limiting the abilities of the non-white people of africa. by this i mean anyone who was living in africa who werent white didnt have the same full rights as the white people did.

nelson mandela was considered a hero to the african people because he was one of the small few who wasnt afraid to speak freely. the african people needed somebody like mandela to lead the way to earn what they deserved. before his journey, he was thrown into jail because the african government wanted to silence him once and for all after a life in prison. and of course. that didnt work.

he is admired today by many people. most likely for the fact that they found one of the few heroes who fought for what they truely believed in. they probably liked that mandela followed his heart and helped give a positive influence to the heroes of tomarrow
