READING COMPREHENSION

Nelson Mandela was a civil rights leader in South Africa. He fought against apartheid, a system where black
citizens were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights. He spent a good portion of his life in prison
for his protests, but became a symbol for his people. When he left prison he became president of South Africa. 

Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. His birth name is Rolihlahla. He got the
nickname Nelson from a teacher in school. Nelson was a member of Thimbu royalty and his father was chief of
the city of Mvezo. He went to school and later college at the College of Fort Hare and the University of
Witwatersrand. At Witwatersrand, Mandela got his law degree and met some of other activists against
apartheid. 

Nelson Mandela became a leader in the African National Congress (ANC). At first he pushed hard for the
congress and the protesters to follow Mohandas Gandhi's non-violence approach. At one point he started to
doubt that this approach would work and started up an armed branch of the ANC. He planned to bomb certain
buildings, but only the buildings. He wanted to make sure that no one would be hurt. He was classified as a
terrorist by the South African government and was sent to prison. 

When he left prison, Nelson continued his campaign to end apartheid. His hard work and life long effort had
excellent results when people of all races were permitted to vote in the 1994 election. Nelson Mandela won the
election and became president of South Africa.
He spent 27 years in prison because he wanted all people of all races to have equal rights in South Africa. He
died on December 5, 2013 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
