Born on July 18th, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa, the courageous Nelson Mandela, otherwise famously known as Rlihlohla, mysteriously meaning 'trouble maker' in the language of African.

But Nelson's journey through life, started at Qunu primary school, 1925. He went everyday, learning and enjoying his life at his first school. Racism was a major thing that impacted the particular school, due to the high population of students attending from different counties and states. People would judge others by race and not what is lying on the inside, which frankly, is what Nelson Mandela is all about. But Nelson didn't exactly know about racism, until his very own father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa, slowly passed, without treatment of the disease he possessed, named, Tuberculosis. Many stories about the death said, that the disease was transmitted by a racist gang member, whom was told hated Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa, forcing Nelson to know about the 'racism' concept the mournful and hard way, in 1930. Everyday at school, racism became a larger, more severe problem, and the only person caring about this ongoing problem, is none other than Nelson Mandela. He stood up to fearsome bullies, even though he was completely terrified, to bring a stop to racism, just at the age of 12.

A true and caring story about racism and how Nelson treated people equally occurred like this: A homeless, dirty clothed women was leaning on her broken car, with already fresh smoke exiting out of it, at Johannesburg, 1950. Nelson approached, feeling like he could lend a helping hand with his knowledge of car mechanics. After fiddling around with it and asking questions, like, 'how was your day' or 'how did this happen?', Nelson successfully fixed the white women's broken car. She was filled with glee and anticipation, that she offered to provide him with a huge cash reward, as a thank you gift. But Nelson replied with, “Oh no, that’s not necessary,” he said, “I am only too happy to help.” with great confidence. She replied with a very confused tone and look on her face, “But why else would you, a black man, have done that if you did not want money?” “Because you were stranded at the side of the road,” he replied happily, and wondered of to the thing he was before doing. That type of thing is what Nelson wants to cure, racism between skin
