Nelson Mandela And The Aparthied

South Africa had been a place of history and heroism. A wealthy country that had whites and blacks living together.Though they were all south Africans they often had disputes based on race and political differences.The native Africans did not like that their country was taken over because of how special it was and they felt it was rightfully theirs.A man known named Nelson Mandela would be the voice of redemption to his people and to his country.This man went through a long struggle to fight the white oppressors that had been taking advantage of his land. He stuck up against the white power that ruled and he was criticized for it.He protested much like the ways of Gandhi and demand equality and the right of his land.The government saw him as a threat and hes was jailed for over 20 years and this just made him look better because all those years his people were following in his image and fought.When Mandela Was freed he was elected president and tried to bring good relations to the whites and blacks in South Africa.he led his country into a new era and is a symbol of independence and standing up for whats right. The Apartheid which is African for separateness a racial separation of blacks and whites that went on in south Africa but was fought against by Nelson Mandela.
