   Let's see his life.
   He were born on 18 July 1918 in the village of Mvezo in Umtatu as a son of a ruler of the Thembu peolpe in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa. He graduated from the law department of the University of Witwatersrand. In his period of University student, He had entered the African National Congress (ANC), and published the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL). He worked on unti-apartheid movement, becoming a chirman of ANCYL.
     In 1952, he set up as a lawyer with Oliver Reginald Tambo in Johannesburg, and became sub-chairman of ANC. Then he published the military organization. Because of these action, he was captured in 1962. Then he had spent tewnty seven years in Robben island as a prisoner of  rebelling against nations. In this term, he had suffered from respiratory diseases like tuberculosis, and hurted his eyes by heavy labor atlimestone pit. But, he had bee continued campaign of anti-apartheid nevertheless in the prison.
     He was liberated from the island in 1990.  He became chairman of ANC in 1991, and he acheved to abolish population registration act, indigenous land law and group areas act like being base of apartheid. Then, he was awarded Nobel peace prize in 1993. Next year, he was elected as first president of black in South Africa, by first universal suffrage there too. After the election, he effored to resolve conflict between black and white under the system of apartheid, to dessolve defference and so on. In 1999, he retired from plitical stage.

    Apartheid can be called his main enemy. Apartheid  is a politics which was enforced in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Under the this politics, black could not have suffrage, enough education, and earn maney than white, live in same area. Moreover, black could not use piblic facilities like restaurant, hotel, train, bus, park, and W.C., often it separeted for white and black, and black were limited even love.

     Mandela's most great achievement is, I think, continuing show the attitude of anti-apartheid even in the prison. This unyielding spirit may be factor of his greater accomplishments. He awarded more than 200 prize, and save so many people's dignity.


     I respect him, and hope people have strong intention of protecting dignity a little.
