Nelson Mandela & Apartheid

The Apartheid is from 1948 to 1994. This is the time period of racial segregation in Africa. Where Africans were not able to be a citizen of their own countries, and where they had barely any freedom or civil rights. Nelson Mandela is a hero because he faught and spoke out for African segragation going on in Africa. He also was their political leader, and he did not give up. He stayed in jail instead of being set free when offered because he said he will still be locked up without freedom. He is admired because of his book, and his work that he did, and for being a freedom fighter.
