Nelson Mandela was a leader in the fight against apartheid in South Africa. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1964 for his opposition to apartheid. An international campaign formed in the 1980s calling for his release. In 1990, South African President F.W. de Klerk freed Mandela and negotiations began to end apartheid. Mandela later became South Africa's first black president from 1994 to 1999, overseeing the transition of the nation towards multi-racial democracy and reconciliation. Mandela passed away in 2013 after a long illness.
