I believe that Nelson Mandela is truly one of the greatest people ever to live on this planet. Born in 1918, Mandela was thrown in jail at the age of 46 for trying to overthrow a government that was unjust to blacks. Once he left prison he wanted to make peace even after his hard sentence of 26 years for treason, but the court said he had life but he was let out. Once Mandela was released from prison, he worked to give everyone in South Africa a better future and human rights. Some of the human rights included stopping arranged marriage, unfair labor, and trying to give people basic freedoms every person should have. In addition to all of this Mandela was also the first black president of South Africa. Do you also think Nelson Mandela is a great person.
