Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid is a system of racial segregation which was used by the South African government from 1948 to 1994. Under this system people didn't have the same right as white people. Non-whites were classified as Bantu ( black ), colored ( mixed ), or Indian. This system separated the whites from the other races and made them the superior. Nelson Mandela did not agree with this form of government. He fought to change this.

Nelson Mandela was admired so much by the authors of the sites and articles because after his realse from prison he wrote a book of his life which was really good. Also, he made afria a equal nation
