-Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela dedicated his life to the struggle for racial equality in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for opposing the South African system of segregation called apartheid (a-par-tide). He negotiated an end to apartheid in 1990, and in 1994 he became the first-ever democratically elected president. He stepped down in 1999.

Today, he is one of the most famous and deeply loved leaders in the world.
