Best Answer

Nelson Mandella and/or Martin Luther King Jr. Technically they both did because they both got something out of it. If it wasn't for Nelson Mandella, blacks wouldn't have the same rights as whites and as for Martin Luther King Jr. blacks wouldn't be allowed to talk to the whites as we do today.
