The person that I admire


Resultado de imagen para nelson mandela



Hello again!,in this post I am gonna to show you who´s the person that I admire and did I choose him.
Nelson Mandela was born in Mvezo(South Africa).He studied law at the  University of Fort Hare and the University of the Witwatersrand,and he started to work as a lawyer in Johannesburg.And, after this, he became an activist against the "Apartheid"(a system of racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa).But in 1962, he was arrested for conspiring to derogate the state, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.Nelson Mandela passed almost 27 years in prison,until the president F.W de Klerk released him in 1990 because they were afraid of a civil war and there was international pressure.Mandela and Klerk negotiated an end of the system of Apartheid and , in the year 1994, Nelson Mandela became in the first black person to be president of South Africa by a democratic election. His government focused on end the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation, and , for this reason,he received more than 250 honours(including the Nobel Peace Prize)and became the subject of a cult of personality.He passed away on 5 December in the year 2013 at the age of 95 :c

Well, the reason why I chose him is that i really admire the bravery of fight for his rights and the rights of all his people in a oppressor system called Apartheid.And the fact of passed almost 27 years in prison and continue without resentment against the white people and ,obviously, the main reason is that he really helped his people and he turned South Africa in a fairer place ,all the persons with the same rights no matter the color of their skin <3.
