NELSON MANDELA
He is the best person in the world that fought for the rights of his people. People that for years didn't have rights. Freedom to people of color. It's clear that in South Africa he was the most representative president.
He was born in Qunu South Africa in July 18, 1918. He got married three times. The first was in 1944 with Evelyn Ntoko. The second with Winnie Madikizela in 1958 and the last with Graca Machel in 1998.
The sunset is his favorite time of the day. Also, classical music is his favorite music; especially Handel and Tchaikovsky.
His parents were Gadla and Nodekeni. He has 3 sisters, too.
About his education, he studied at Mission school. After that he studied at Union College of Fort Hare and he majored in law in Johannesburg.
He was sentenced to life term for anti-government activities. He was released after 27 years in February 11, 1990.
In 1993 he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was the first democratically elected president of South Africa since 1994 until 1999 with 62% of vote.
So in conclusion, he wasn't born in a golden cradle to have all the things that a child wants or needs. He had to struggle to get his rights, the rights of his brothers. He worked a lot to avoid the unjust system of apartheid in South Africa in 1960. His ideals to change a world with love and peace. A place where people aren't racist, where you can share a dinner with white and people of color.
Good.
