Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid to me was just another form of racial segregation against another race that was non-white. Nelson Mandela was a hero because he helped liberate South Africa from segregetion and other acts of hatred against Black people. During the 1950s Mandela played a key role in the ANC's non-violent campaign to undermine apartheid, South Africa's system of racial segregation, through strikes, civil disobedience, and demonstrations. But when he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison he became the symbol of the struggle for Independence for the Africans and that is why the prison guards believed that if he died in prison a major uprising would occur and that would be chaotic so they let him out nafter only 27 years and he immediatly became a hero. He is admired by the Authors and article because he went through many hardships and suffring to open the door to opputunities for the People of South Africa and he helped abolish Apartheid and he will be remembered forever because of that.
