Life of Nelson Mandela
Born July 18, 1918 near Transkei (South Africa) 1937 Entry university but did not complete degree 1940 Formed ANC Youth League 1952 Set up law office to help poor black people in Johannesburg 1952 attacked anti-black law 1961 Government by and for white people set up in south Africa 1962 Encouraged violence against anti-black laws 1963 Led ANC to blow up government buildings
• In 1962, Mandela encouraged people to use violence against anti-black laws to get their rights, so he was sentenced t 5 years hard labor. One year later, as one of the leaders of ANC, he led them to blow up the government buildings to realize their dream of making black and white people equal, so that he was again sentenced to prison for life on Robben Island until now. • I think, what he did was for his people, his country, not for himself. He has an unselfish and brave heart. As he is a great man, you should set him free. • Best whishes! • Yours truly, • Li Hua
