Nelson Mandela

yes, he was jailed, but he later became the first president of south africa

Nelson Mandela believed in blacks having the same rights as others because he himself was black and he experienced what it was like so he did believe in blacks having the same rights as others because it wasnt fair being mis treated because of who you are and what color you are! thatwhy Mandela believed in having rights for black people and chaived that by stopping the apartheid and CHANGED THE WORLD

yes

He was able to earn the respect of the guards to the point that they didnt treat him like carbage, and he was called respectfully.

he was treated very bad when he was in prison very bad.

He has made the world a much safer and more tolerant place by his actions and his temperate presidency during some very turbulent years of South Africa's history. His actions there were looked to by the entire world, and he inspired generations of people to live with tolerance and move toward a future of acceptance.

Both men responded to unjust imprisonment by gaining political power and representing mistreated people.

The National Party government of South Africa under the leadership of President F.W. de Klerk decided to release Nelson R. Mandela from prison in 1988 provided that he renounce trying to overthrow the government. Mandela - a trained lawyer - said that prisoners cannot enter into contracts - so in order to enter into an agreement - he would first have to be released!!!! (he was to be released becasue the charges against him - trying to overthrow the government - were never brought to trial.)

Mandella was released - with no conditions - on February, 11, 1990. The release was covered world wide.

he can get angry fast some would say his bipolar temper is a weakness but he gets psycho so i call it a strength

Nelson Mandela worked as a mine guard, was an articled clerk with a law firm and became a lawyer. As a yound boy he was a cattle herder.

He studied law and was trained as a lawyer. He and his friend Oliver Tambo opened up their own law firm and where one of the only black lawyers in South Africa at that time to defend their own people under the law of appartheid.

During his imprisonnment he acted as an attorney for fellow prisoners as well.

After he gained fame as a political leader and activist he was bestowed with numerous awards as well as honorary degrees from a number of universities.

He was a political activist and considered a terrorist by the (apartheid) government of the time. He was jailed for sabotage for 27 years.

He didn't go to jail for "mixing white and black people together".

That might have been what he ultimately wanted, but he was sent to jail mainly for his association with the violent part of ANC - who did bombings that hurt and killed people.

Nelson and Whitney Mandela separated after thirty eight years of marriage. Whitney had been cheating on Nelson and though rumors where spread he did not leave her until he was shown a letter as proof.

Nobody Made them listen !... They WANTED to hear the speech !

Mainly, taking care of an orderly transition from white rule to black rule and preventing the immense racial unrest this might cause. He had at the same time give his black supporters the idea that they got a bit of their own back for decades of Apartheid, and still keep the whites aboard who he needed to keep the economy running.

he meant that nothing is impossible until you have tried to see if it's impossible.

Nelson Mandela basically achieved equality for whites and blacks.

he helped black rights because during aparthied and he went to prison for it but he was just trying to help people not being slaves

George H.W. Bush welcomed Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1990 as a significant step towards ending apartheid in South Africa. He expressed support for Mandela's commitment to reconciliation and democracy, emphasizing the importance of peaceful transitions in leadership. The Bush administration played a role in promoting economic and political reforms in South Africa during this period, aligning with Mandela's vision for a unified nation. Overall, Bush's response was one of cautious optimism, recognizing the potential for positive change in the region.

He opposed the practice of apartheid, which was a way to separate the blacks, away from everyone else. Nelson Mandela was put in prison in his early years, but he bailed out later, and he began opposing the apartheid practice. He then followed his success and became the president of South Africa. He retired from that position in the early 2000s.

Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity.

His message was for everyone to live in peace with one another, no matter the race or culture...having in kind the all came from one tome and thesame people

He was sent to boarding school and later to Fort Hare Missionary College. He was expelled from college for helping to organize a strike against the white colonial rule of the institution. He then became involved in other protests against the white colonial rule. In doing so he set out for personal and national liberation. He ran away from home to avoid an arranged marriage. Later, he graduated from the University of South Africa with a degree in law. He joined a law firm as an apprentice.

because he understands what it means to fight against enormous odds, because he remained unbeaten and unbowed, despite tremendous outward oppression, because he showed that words are much more powerful than weapons.

because it was soulful and he had wisdom in him and the words that came out of his mouth were words that nobody else could say or think of and he spoke the truth!
