Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Nelson Mandela fought for his country's freedom, its racism, and apartheid. Apartheid is a racial-segregation policy in South Africa back then. That policy included everyone. But the white minority get the full citizenship and not the majority of the people in South Africa. For example the Blacks, colored, Indian, and even Asian. Many of them were restricted to vote during elections. The term Apartheid came from the 1930's in South Africa, by the South African Bureau for Racial Affairs. It was a policy that caused separation developments for the races. To me I think it's called Apartheid because the word "Apart" is to keep races apart and all their rights from the higher race, which is the whites, but they're the minority in South Africa. Even if there was more blacks, colored (mixed), Indians, and Asians, the whites get more privileges. Everyone thought it was unfair, and not just that, but according to the whites, the "minorities", were treated wrong. South Africa was full of Racism and Racial segregation.

Nelson Mandela was a hero, because he fought his way for independence. Not just his independence and rights, but also for his people. He no longer wants to follow the un-just system of government. He was imprisoned for 27 years and after that, he became the president of South Africa. He destroyed the corrupt system of the government. He fought for change and still even after all the racism that followed before, South Africa is still in healing.
