nelson mandela and the aparthied

This guy was a freedom hero who helped put people from slavery. he made most countries from africa from slavery he basicly was like the father and hero of africa he went to jail for many reasons when he came out he some lines saying that what was the point of being free from prison if really no one is really free out their in Africa or whereever their was slavery. this act or line that he made was very inspirational for the african people all over Africa. He said Africa was like a gold mine because of its great resources that were their. So it was not fair that all those riches were for other countries that controled parts of Africa so a lot of people voted for Nelson Mandela for president of south Africa. This was great for the African people because now all the countries were influenced by what Nelson Mandela went through and they all decided to get free and become independent countries.
