Nelson Mandela

Real World Example

Nelson Mandela was a leader in the fight against apartheid, a system of racial segregation in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for his activism, becoming a global symbol of resistance against injustice. In 1994, he became South Africa's first black president, working to unite the country and promote reconciliation. His efforts were crucial in ending apartheid and ensuring equal rights for all South Africans. Today, Mandela's legacy of forgiveness and equality inspires people worldwide, like students who participate in "Mandela Day" by volunteering and helping their communities.
