Nelson Mandela’s Life:
This story is about Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s life and trying to stand up for the africans and try to give better lives to children and other ages. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18-1918 on the eastern coast of africa in Mvezo. When his father passed away, when he was 9 he was raised by royalty. He was the first person to attend school in his family.
Later on when he was a young adult, he became an activist with the African National Congress. He was doing everything well then his campaign hit a brick wall when he was acquitted and charged a large amount of treason against the government with 155 other activists in 1962.
Mandela tried to fight back, against the military and government targets and planning a possible war. Nelson Mandela tried to make the country better. Mandela was released after 27 years of being imprisoned and talks to form a multi-racial democracy were set to begin.
Three years later he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end apartheid. Months after he was elected president. Since he stepped down as president in 1999, Nelson Mandela has been dedicated to end global poverty and wars helping to resolve wars and conflicts through Africa.
Sad enough he past away on December 5 2013.
