Short Biography on Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in the small village of Mvezo in South Africa. After attending school in his native country, he spent time at the University of London before returning to South Africa and starting a law FIRM. Around this time, Mandela joined the African National Congress and became a founding member of the organizations Youth League. Mandela was arrested several times during his adult life, often for his political ties with the African National Congress and his WORK as a lawyer. In 1961, Mandela led a campaign to sabotage South Africas ruling apartheid government. He was subsequently arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment; however, he was released in 1990 after serving 27 years in prison. After his release, Mandela resumed his anti-apartheid activism and entered into negotiations with then-President F.W. de Klerk to end apartheid and ESTABLISH multiracial elections in South Africa. Mandela was successful, and the African National Congress rose to power, with Mandela serving as president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. Nelson Mandela died on Dec. 5, 2013, after a prolonged illness. He was 95
