Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
When the title "A Person" was given, without a doubt I thought of that particular person. He is a famous person who passed away recenlty, he is none other than the famous Nelson Mandela.Why I chose to write about Nelson Mandela?? That's because I think he is someone who really changed the world, someone who is really commited in fighting against racism. I even watched a movie called "Invictus" which is about him who played by Morgon Freeman, I almost tear up watching the show. He has sacrificed so much in order to dismantle Apartheid.
Nelson Mandela was a
South African political activist who spent over 20 years in prison for his
opposition to the apartheid regime. He was released in 1990 and, in 1994, was
later elected the first leader of a democratic South Africa. He was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his work in helping to end racial segregation in
South Africa. He is considered the father of a democratic South Africa and
widely admired for his ability to bring together a nation, previously divided
by apartheid. Nelson Mandela is one of the most admired political leaders of
the Twentieth and Twenty First Century for his vision to forgive and forge a new
'rainbow' nation.
I really respect Nelson Mandela for his unconditional fight for democracy and against racism.
