Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His first name could be interpreted, prophetically, as "troublemaker." The Nelson was added later, by a teacher.
PREDICT: Do you think Mandela lived up to his name as a troublemaker?
Nelson Mandela
His Start
1942 – Law degree from Univ. S. Africa
1952 – African National Congress (A.N.C.) deputy national president
Passive Resistance to Apartheid
- At first, Mandela opted for nonviolence as a strategy to defeat apartheid. He became involved in programs that fought against the laws that forced blacks to carry passes.
Mandela
A.N.C.
Persecution
- The government didn’t stop with the
Sharpesville Massacre. Most liberation movements, including the A.N.C., were banned.
- Predict: What do you think Mandela did after
the government banned his organization, the A.N.C.?
Resistance
- So what did Mandela do when his organization, the A.N.C. was banned by the government? Well, he traveled to other countries to recruit people to join the A.N.C. (African National Congress) a liberation organization and he continued to organize resistance against Apartheid.
- Predict: How do you think the government felt about Mandela recruiting people to this “outlawed” organization?
“Freedom in Our Lifetime!”
- After more than two decades in prison, Mandela decided on a new approach. He was escorted to the State President's office to start negotiating not only his own release but also the nation's transition from apartheid to democracy.
- On Feb. 2, 1990, President F.W. de Klerk lifted the ban on the A.N.C. and announced Mandela's imminent release. Mandela was free at last!
Victories!

- 1993 – Mandela earns the Nobel Peace Prize
- 1993, 1994 – South Africa begins writing a
draft for the new constitution
- 1994 - First multiracial election
Now
- Today Nelson Mandela has retired from
political life, but continues to speak out against injustice anywhere in the world!
- In South Africa, his effect can be felt
everywhere… in non-segregated classrooms, in non-discriminating work environments, in equal living conditions, and beyond!
