nelson mandela and apartheid

an apartheid is a form of segregation that existed in south africa against blacks. blacks werent allowed to vote and in some places only one race was allowed to go in. they even made it so you cant have mixed relationships this was an extreme of segregation where blacks had almost no rights. nelson mandela is recognized for liberating and unifying south africa he had a gandhi like idealism for liberating africa he used non violence to get his point across and spent 27 years in prison for this and when he came out instead of being mad and wanting to call for violence he continues with a protest of non violence. i think the authors admire nelson mandela so much because he never gave up not even after spending 27 years in prison all that time in prison would just suck the fight out of a man but he stayed with his beliefs and never lost hope and when he came out of prison the very next day he started to help his people by pounding rocks into gravel. mandela was willing to go to the end of the world to have his dreams come true and to make his people happy
