Nelson Mandela was born to a chief of his tribe in 1918. After his father's passing, he was educated by the tribe, as was the custom, and became a lawyer. He became affiliated with the African National Congress in the 1940s. His anti-apartheid activism landed him in jail for thirty years. After his release in 1990, he worked with President De Klerk of South Africa to ease the transition from apartheid to equality. Both men were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts. In 1994, Mandela was elected to the presidency. He retired from political life in 1999. In 2013, Mandela passed away at the age of 95.
