Nelson Mandela: The Legacy of a Leader (1918-2013)

Nelson Mandela was a towering figure in the fight against apartheid and a symbol of resilience, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Born in 1918 in South Africa, Mandela dedicated his life to ending racial segregation and injustice in his country. He became a prominent anti-apartheid activist, leading the African National Congress (ANC) in its struggle against the oppressive regime. Mandela's unwavering commitment to justice and equality led to his imprisonment for 27 years, during which he became an international symbol of resistance. After his release in 1990, Mandela negotiated an end to apartheid and became South Africa's first democratically elected president, serving from 1994 to 1999 and overseeing the country's transition to a multiracial democracy.
