Introduction:
Nelson Mandela was a very bright, powerful, and noble hero to South Africa. He is looked up to by South Africans for being so dedicated and committed to fighting for the freedom and equality for all South Africans in the racist segregation, knowing his life is at risk. During the 1950's, Nelson Mandela became a hero in the movement and stood up for all the people to be equal, regardless of their skin color. He wanted a democratic, free society for all people to be free and with equal opportunities.The apartheid government eventually sentenced him life in prison. But he did not let that stop him for fighting for what he believes in. This shows how much of a noble person he was and that is why people voted him as president. This is why in history today, he is well respected and a great leader to look up to. Here is a short documentary on Nelson Mandela.
