Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a wonderful man. He was a president in South Africa and then was put in prison for 27 years. He strove for equality in his country and believed that everybody had the right to equal treatment. He believed everyone should be able to vote and have free will. One day Mandela was in a riot for what he believed in and it turned violent. He was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was also a role model for many and didn't deserve the way he was treated. This week Mandela passed away...it was a tragic loss for everyone.
