Nelson Mandela Work

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is a man from South Africa, and he was the reason that we have
race relations day today. He fought against apartheid and segregation, in his
lifetime ( 18 July 1918, to 5 December 2013) he also won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He also was against white supremacy.

Firstly, Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid and segregation. Apartheid is
when only white people in South Africa are superior and they have good things,
when the blacks are treated unfairly. Segregation means where one group of
people like the whites are separated from black people and are treated
differently. I think apartheid and segregation is wrong because everyone should
be treated equally.

Secondly, Nelson Mandela was against white supremacy. In South Africa he
did not think that it was fair that only the white people got all the good things
in life.  Only the white people got big houses, electricity and proper roads.
Nelson Mandela also thought that the black people should not have to live in
tiny hovels and should be allowed  proper roads or electricity. He did not think
it was fair that because of their skin colour, that the black and the white people
got different rights. We agree with Nelson Mandela because we don’t think it
is fair either.

Finally, Nelson Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He shared the
Nobel Peace Prize with Frederik Willem de Klerk. De Klerk was the president
of South Africa. They won the Peace Prize because of their work fighting
against apartheid and segregation. We think that they deserved the Nobel
Peace Prize because what they were doing was right.

In conclusion, Nelson Mandela is recognised today because he fought against
apartheid and segregation, he was against white supremacy, and he won the
nobel peace prize. Nelson Mandela was very important for the way he fought
for equal rights and helped support black people to have a better life. It affects
us today because everyone no matter what their skin colour is, they are

entitled to have equal rights.
