Nelson Mandela- every man’s hero
Nelson Mandela is an iconic figure respected by everyone, old and young, whether or not they understand exactly why he draws so much attention. For many people, he is the emblem of black power and a challenge to white supremacy. That’s okay. Imprisoned by South Africa’s Apartheid regime for 27 years, some people hold a deep reverence for all his struggles. That’s okay too.
