Nelson Mandela by evelyne


I chose this book because Nelson Mandela was one of the most important leaders in the world.Nelson Mandela was born as a son of a tribal leader in South Africa.When he was a
child,he could't go to a better school like a government's school.He studied in a school which was only for black people.When he was 9-year-old,his father died,so he was sent to another tribal leader's family.Then he had a chance to go to a government's school.In university,Mendela was aware of apartheid.He started struggling with the government in peaceful way for black people having same rights as white people.He was arrested in 1963 and in prison for 27 years since then.He was free in 1992.He became a president of South Africa in 1994, and eventually the apartheid ended at the same time.I
appreciate the way Mandela had done,not using violent.I recomment this book to everyone because it is easy to read and Mandela is a part of South Africa's histories,we should know about him.
