In 1944 at the age of 36, Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress(ANC). In 1925, the ANC led the bold Campaign for the Defiance of Unjust Laws. The campaign was conceived as a movement of civil disobedience. In his leadership role in the campaign, Mandela earned growing respect among his fellow freedom fighters, proving that he was a brave and intelligent leader. At the same time, his energetic participation brought Mandela a criminal conviction. Even so, he was soon elected deputy resident of the ANC.
During this period, Mandela began to encounter more and more resistance from the government, gaining an official image as a troublemaker. With its radical new approach, the ANC was outlawed in 1960 and Mandela was forced into hiding. Mandela was the victim of various forms of repression. He was banned, arrested and imprisoned. Still, he continued to fight against apartheid(种族隔离). In 1962, Mandela traveled abroad illegally to gather support from leaders of other countries for the anti-apartheid struggle. When he returned, he was arrested, jailed, and sentenced to life in prison.
From prison, Mandela continued his demand for equality. At his South African prison near Cape Town, black prisoners were given short trousers, while the non-black prisoners were given longer pants. Mandela recognised the different uniforms as a reminder of the difference in status a-mong prisoners. He began protesting immediately and complained each day until, at the end of the second week, he found a pair of long trousers left in his cell. Still not satisfied, Mandela demanded the same longer trousers for the other black prisoners.
Mandela never ended his demand for justice and equality. His pursuit of study privileges and better food were a continuation of his fight for ANC goals. Mandela firmly believed that the struggle for freedom was not only for the oppressed, but also for the oppressors. A man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of hatred, observes Mandela in his autobiography. "He is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else’s freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity. "
After 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela was released in 1990. In 1991, he became president of the ANG. In 1993, he was awarded the Noble Peace Prize along with F. W. de Klerk for ending apartheid. In 1994, Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa, holding office until June 1999, when he retired from public life. He then lived in the village where he was born.
Nelson Mandela, the revered South African anti -apartheid icon who led his country to democracy and became its first black president, died on December 5th, 2013 , at home. He was 95. "He is now resting," said South African President Jacob Zuma. "He is now at peace. "
