About Nelson
I consider myself a fighter. All my life I fought for what I believed in! I don’t think it’s fair that white
people mistreat the black community , so I stood up against my country´s national party. As I
was struggling against the government, they needed to put me away, so I spent 27 years in
prision. For sure you all have heard about the apartheid in my homeland, South Africa.
I hope I can be an inspire all of you to go ahead and fight for what you believe in , because we
all have to struggle to accomplish our dreams , no matter who stands in our way .
If you are the voice of reason nothing can be able to stop you

and enhances the freedom of others.”
