1. Describe Mandela and the Apartheid movement in South Africa.
Nelson Mandela is an incredibly admirable individual as he played a large role in the Apartheid (meaning separateness) movement in South Africa. Mandela is an extreme anti-apartheid activist; though at times he has endured conflict and struggles (such as being imprisoned) in regards to his fight for equality and freedom for African-Americans, his persistence has proven to be worth-while. He was inaugurated as the first democratically elected African-American State President of South Africa on 10 May 1994 - June 1999, changing the lives of many fellow African-American citizens.
2. How did Mandela suffer to promote his cause?
Similarly to Ghandi, Mandela illustrated many examples of promoting civil disobedience. He endured many critics and received many punishments during his fight for freedom; one of which consisted of him being imprisoned for a few decades- approximately 27 years. During this time he continued to protest and promote equality. His suffering in prison, however, benefited him in some aspects: he became the President of South Africal, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and received honorary degrees from more than 50 international universities.
