Nelson Mandela

by Fatimata Teneman Keita from Bamako in Mali

I never lose 

I win or I learn

Nelson Mandela is someone in the world who fought against racism in Africa and apartheid too. As we can see, he spent 27 years in jail before he became the president. He was in South Africa. He never let himself care about what white people would say. So he decided to fight against them, because at that moment, black and white people were not mixed. By doing this, he spent 27 years of his life in jail.

When he went back to his country, he continued to fight so far. His wife was in the military and she was too ambitious for him. So they broke their marriage and he became the President. He suffered a lot. The reason why I wrote about him is that I really liked his way of fighting for black people because he wanted to make equality in the world.
