Human rights, one of the few things we all have. Many people for this challenge probably listed them and their violations in different places, I did not. I decided that people should know how important they are and that you should never give them up. Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 and he is still alive! Mandela lived in South Africa, as a young boy his first name was changed to Nelson because of his British school system.  He was adopted by  chief Dalindyebo after lung disease killed his father. As a teenager, Nelson ran away from home to Johannesburg when his foster father fixed an alliance for him. He was already interested in the racism the people of his country had to endure (not equal to British) and joined a party of Africans who felt that they deserved equality. In his life he worked hard in different ways, like protests to reach his goal. This eventually led to hard labour in prison, but he never gave up. It was only a matter of time before his courageous attitude led to him becoming the first black president of his country. When people relised how serious he was for everyone to get their personal rights, help began to come along with fame and awards. The nobel peace prize, Bharat Ratna and many more. In short, Mr. Mandela got his human rights through dedication, hard work and being patient through hard times.
