Nelson Mandela by Kevin Lam

Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was imprisoned for 27 years for his activism against apartheid but was released in 1990 amid international pressure. As president, he established a new constitution and held South Africa's first free elections, helping establish a multi-racial democracy. Throughout his life, Mandela worked to end apartheid through nonviolent protest and, later, armed resistance from the African National Congress. Even after retiring from politics, he continued philanthropic work focused on combating poverty and HIV/AIDS.

Mandela’s touch point The Prison Years “Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think. As I worked, physical and mental fatigue set in and I was unable to operate to the maximum of my intellectual ability. But in a single cell in prison, I had time to think. I had a clear view of my past and present, and I found that my past left much to be desired, both in regard to my relations with other humans and in developing personal worth.” Self
