Nelson Mandela was a civil rights leader in South Africa. He fought against apartheid, a system where non-white citizens were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights. 

He served a good portion of his life in prison for his protests. His prison sentence brought      international visibility to the anti-apartheid movement. He was finally released through international pressure in 1990. 
Once released from prison, Nelson continued his campaign to end apartheid. He was         awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
 His hard work and life long effort paid off when all races were allowed to vote in the 1994 election. Nelson Mandela won the election and became president of South Africa. 
There were several times during the process where violence threatened to break out. Nelson was a strong force in keeping the calm and preventing a major civil war. 
Nelson Mandela died on December 5, 2013.

  1. Hi, thanks for this activity, I liked that you have chosen to Nelson Mandela with that great phrase. In the activity give them in the students very specific indications and especially you do to them that they use Internet and the e-mail, which there are two ways of sending information to the rest.
