Nelson Mandela and Apartheid


Apartheid s the racial segregation policy of South America. This meant that people that were not white did not have the same rights as the people that were white. Like for instance they could not use public toilet cause it was only reserved for white people in parliament African American were not allowed to vote in there. So this technically meant that the non white people were separated from the white people and who ever did not obey this law or opposed were banned or even the leaders were killed so that no one could change what was going on and unite the non white with the white. Nelson Mandela was one of the people that was against apartheid. He was a hero because he a leader in the African National Congress. So because of that he was sentences to death but still he gave people hope and after 27 years he was finally released and then was awarded the noble peace prize and voted as president of South America. He so admired by the authors of these articles and site because of his courage and because of what he did kept giving hope to the people even if being in jail.
