Nelson Mandela was sent to jail in South Africa in 1964 for speaking out against laws that kept people apart based on their skin color. He was held there for twenty-seven years. Mandela continued his protest, even in prison, and became one of the most famous world leaders of our time.

He reminds me of Martin Luther King. I can't believe he spent 27 years in prison for speaking out against the way the government was treating Black people. How unfair!

i like this book cause i think its unfair how back then they got judgeed for who they are and what they wanted to say they could not say.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me Of martin luther king because they thought it isnt fair just because the color of the skin color means more right for that person
All the people africa loved him because he wants it to be better for people in Africa
Just cause he spoke his mind he was sent to jail
But thta didnt stop him he wanted his dream to come true and it did...
So every body was now free in africa and he became are new leader ! c; (in africa) but he was noticed by lots of people |

ReplyDeleteI liked this book because it tells the reader what good deeds Mandela did. It is also good for people that live in south Africa and people that want to know about history of people who protested.

This book is about a guy named Nelson Mandela. The best part is when Nelson told why he did not like prejudice. People like you can learn a lot about RACE. If you like history. I Like this book a lot . This book might be a twenty five paged book but that does not mean it can not have a lot of details. I like this book I hope you like it too .I recommend this book for grades second and over.

I think this is a great book about Nelson Mandela. This is because, it shows how smart he is by saying how rude people are treating black people. This book reminds me of the march by Martin Luther King JR. because they marched a lot towards the troops and they were arguing. This was because, he wanted to allow black people to vote. I suggest you read this book it's very precise since it says the precise information about Nelson Mandela. It's similar to a biography. I hope you enjoy the preciseness of this precise book
