Mandela South Africa

Back in Africa it was brutal how some of the Africans were treated like slaves because of there skin color and how they look. They basically all had the same jobs making barley anything or making nothing as slaves for the "white man" people say. Mandela was trying to stop it in a way he was the Gandhi of the Africans or at least try to. He was the leader of a underground group called the African national Congress. While he was in the group he was sentenced in prison for life in 1964. The reason why is because they wanted him to stay quiet and they didn't want a revolt against the Apartheid government. After 27 years of imprisonment and his people still fighting the government he was freed in 1990 which meant the end of the corrupt government.

After that he was awarded the noble peace prize and elected president of south Africa.
