Most Of 2013

Most Memoirable

2013. The year of many new things. Many trends started up, many great people died, many new things were thrown into American life. But the most memoirable, by far, is the passing of Nelson Mandela. Mandela was an amazing leader who shook the entire country. He endured 27 years in prison for the freedom of his people. He fought long and hard. His great leadership and the things he has done were great. As one person he worked for almost his whole life for equality. His death was mourned everywhere. from every part of the planet. He was a great leader and deserved all the attentionhe got. He may have died physically, but he will not be forgoten.

How I Feel

I believe Nelson Mandela was a great man. An article on History.com says that. "The South African activist and former president Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) helped bring an end to apartheid and has been a global advocate for human rights. A member of the African National Congress party beginning in the 1940s, he was a leader of both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority’s oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa. His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the antiapartheid movement both within his country and internationally. Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa, forming a multiethnic government to oversee the country’s transition. after retiring from politics in 1999, he remained a devoted champion for peace and social justice in his own nation and around the world until his death in 2013 at the age of 95." This proves that he is a great man and that he is very dedicated.
