Nelson Mandela/Story review

In 1918 July 18, a beautiful man was born in the Eastern Coast of Africa in Mvezo, when Nelson was nine his father died & he was raised by royalty. After, he was the first member in his family that had attended school. Later on in life he became an Activist with the African National Congress. Knowing that he had the power of the young ones, he had made a African National Congress Youth League.

Later on he started the African National Congress Youth League. Mandela began actively participating in politics in his thirties, when he led the Defiance Campaign in 1952 and the 1955 Congress of the People.


His campaigning soon hit a brickwall in 1956, when he was charged with high treason against the government along with 155 other activists.

Later on Apartheid was getting stronger and new laws were passed which told the blacks where to work and live. But Mandela tried to fight back, coordinating sabotage campaign.
