He was persistent even when the government put him behind bars. Gandhi used his voice to inspire and persuade people. Satyagrahas is one of the backbones for non violent protests…

History Task: How apartheid affected people’s lives and how they responded For the task I will be focusing mainly on the Separate Amenities Act.

The Separate Amenities Act was implemented in 1953. This act legalised racial segregation. It was created so that different racial groups would have separate public facilities for…

Henry David Thoreau, Mohandas K. Gandhi and Nelson Mandela these three people believed to be oppressed. These people are very important and made great history. They all changed and did the impossible for their people. Something that no other human being had the ego to do. They changed the way of thinking to their government. Thoreau, Gandhi and who Mandela were the ones who awake. In other words, they knew their rights and did something about it. They spoke against the oppression they…

water fountains etc. Where as the non- whites would have different things. The point of the apartheid was to separate the races, not just whites from non-whites but non whites from each other as well. They wanted to separate one group from another. Nelson Mandela had no rights or freedoms just like the other non-whites and that’s what he wanted to change. He was born into a nation full of conflicts. In 1652 the Dutch colonized South Africa. Years later, Britain took over the Dutch colonized…

Nelson Mandela had to go through a life of false accusations and racism, however through all that he was always a man of peace and forgiveness. Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Umtata near the Transkei region of South Africa. Mandela told growing up was told that he was going to be the next great ruler of his tribe.

know what you are thinking, “I thought his name was Nelson Mandela , why is it Rolihlahla?” Well his given name was Rolihlahla, but while he was in primary school, his teacher named him Nelson because the name was too long and complicated. The early stages of Nelson’s life were simple for him. They were simple, at least until he turned 12. Nelson’s father died in the year 1930 and entrusted Nelson to Thembu Regent Jongintaba Dalindyebo. After Nelson had accepted his father’s death he enrolled at…

The largest theme of the movie is most definitely over coming trials placed in front of you and focusing on the hope for a better future. In the case of Nelson Mandela, he overcame an endless number of trials over the course of the movie. Not only did Mandela have to survive a long, and unjust, imprisonment, but he also had to face the challenges brought on of his presidency. The divide between the two cultures of South Africa was a seemingly impossible challenge to fix, but Mandela never loses…
