Nelson Mandela was born on July 1918 in South Africa. At the age of 21, he began to study on the University and became a lawyer in 1952. In those days in South Africa, there was a kind of segregation between Whites and non-whites. Apartheid was a kind of segregation and it was a way of live. There were separated schools, buses, hospitals and so on. Year by year many other laws were introduced. All power was given to Whites. Because of this, he joined to African National Congress. ANC was founded in 1912 by black lawyers. The ANC had 3 goals: an end to discrimination, the right for black people to buy land and full citizenship for all Africans; the ANC wanted to abolish apartheid. He felt that the organization could do more for the non-whites. In this organization, he organized non-violence protest action, like demonstration and strike. In 1960 the White government banned the ANC, but the members didn't take it seriously; Mandela and the other ANC members went underground and continued their work. In 1962, Mandela was caught by the police, because the police raided a secret ANC office. He was sentenced to the life imprisonment in the prison on Robben Island. Finally in 1990, Mandela was released from prison and he immediately got back to work (the ban of ANC, was lifted too). At the end of 1993 Mandela and the president F.W. de Klerk were given the Nobel Peace Prize for their work for peace in South Africa.
