Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 in South Africa. He joined a political party in 1942 that opposed apartheid and fought for equality for black citizens. As a result, he was imprisoned for 27 years by the apartheid regime, who considered him a terrorist. After his release from prison, he continued his fight against apartheid through peaceful protests and gaining international support. He was re-elected president in 1994, becoming the first democratically elected black president of South Africa and ending apartheid. Mandela is viewed as a leader and symbol of resistance due to his lifelong fight against inequality and peaceful actions to bring democracy to South Africa.
