Nelson Mandela was born in July 18 1918. Life was easy when he was young because his father was the chief of the village. But life got harder as he got older. then he had to go to school.

one day nelson's father died. that is also when nelson had to walk to another school. he had to to leave his family's village to go to another school.

when nelson was sixteen he became a man!!!!!! nelson had to do a tribal DAnce.

nelson went to even another schoOl but got expelled beacuse the principal thought that black people did worse than white people!!!

Nelson and another man sold two oxen and with the money they bought two two train tickets to johannesb-urg the so called city of

Nelson had heard many stories of johannesburg such as: people would work in coal mines for little pay. luckily since nelsons father used to be a chief he became a guard.

Nelson started a protest for blacks and whites to have the same rights, even some whites joined!!!

one day the gigantic group of protesters met up with the police!!! some of the protesters were killed, luckily nelson survived!

one night nelson's youngest son woke to the sound of an an awful crash!!!!!!!the african police had taken nelson to jail!!!

Nelson was set free from prison but he had to go back beacuse he kept protesting.

luckily Nelson was freed again. then he became president of the government!!!

One thing I've learned is not all changemakers make a

change.

This Person is a changemaker because:

1. he started protests.2. he stood firm in a white school.

3.he protested for equal rights for all.

My Changemaker is connected to oliver tambo beacuse they both opened

a legal practice in johannesburg.
