Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

The word Apartheid defines as any system or practice that separates people according to race, caste, etc. This means in better detail that other than white people no one else like blacks, Indians, etc was allowed to to be citizens. They basically wanted everyone in here own race to stay in and only in there race, examples such as no mix marriages, and no sexual relations between two different races.

There was a man who rose above this nonsense and fought back and in the end became successful. His name was Nelson Mandela a hero. Nelson Mandela was a hero because he was the one who fought back against the Apartheid government in South Africa. He was once in the ANC "African National Congress" but he was taken out of the ANC in 1964 he Nelson Mandela was sentenced to jail for life. After twenty seven years in prison they released him from jail marked the beginning of the end for apartheid. In less than five years after his release, Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and elected president of South Africa. Now in South Africa everyone is to work with equal lives to have an opportunity to live there life better than before the harsh Apartheid government.
