Nelson Mandela

after reading this article i think that Mandela was a great president who wanted to make change for his people and a  very kind a person like him would want to do such thing even after 27 years in prison.

Nelson Mandela

From the text I can verify that Mandela had to through many sacrifices to makes his messages and beliefs get to the people such of as having compassion, peace, and many more.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela who has left us on December the 5th was a very important person because he was the first black president to serve South Africa. He also wanted to end the struggle against racial oppresion. He was not just important for that, "His tireless struggle for freedom earned him the respect of the world. His humility, his compassion and his humanity earned him their love" says Lydia Polgreen..he earned respect from people that made him a great person. Mr. Mandela also spent 27 years in prison after being convicted of treason by the white minority government. Finally, I believe that Nelson Mandela was important because he was not just the first black leader of his nation but also earned a Nobel Peace Prize. R.I.P Nelson Mandela July 18, 1918- December 05,2013.

Many people from South Africa and many other countries / states were heart broken when Mandela has passed away . Mandela has saved many peoples life's through out his life .

After reading this article I found intresting that before Nelson Mandela , there was actually segregation in Africa. Also I had no idea that Mr.Mandela was actually the first black president in Africa. I found this things really intresting due to my lack of knowledge in this subject. I really wish to learn more of the political history Africa.

After reading about Nelson Mandela I think he was a great roll model for many people because of what he did I think he was a nice  person because I mean he was Put in jail for 27after being convicted of treason by the white minority government  . He was a great person in my opinion even though I didn't know about him or what he did few days ago .

After reading the article about Mandela's death, I personally think I still don't know who he was. I didn't want to do research about him because since I don't know who is he I just decided to read the article and a have a real opinion of him based on that source. It's easily to google his name and get information about him and come back here and write that he did this and that. I'm surprised I never have heard people mention his name until Thursday even the president of the U.S talked about him Thursday evening. By reading this article it seems that Nelson Mandela was a very kind man wanting to change the world. People have nothing to say but positive things about him which makes me think he was a great person but I need evidence what did he really do, why are people so sadden about his death? Yes, he went to prison for 27 years which is a really long period of time and let me tell you he seems like a strong man because after that he became president of South Africa. Overall by the looks of it he went through some tough events in his life and it sounds to me that he had hope in humanity and respected every living soul that cross him. He was like another Malcolm X.
