I saw that Nelson Mandela passed away on the news yesterday, and I didn't even know who he was. After reading this article, he has done some major monumental things. He won a nobel prize for all the things he had accomplished. Such as, being the first blak president in South Africa, he vowed to seek peace with South Africa's whites, guided South Africa to a new democratic government guarnteeing equal rights to all citizens, one of the world's most recognizable statesmen of the 20th century, and a hero of South African democracy.
