Nelson Mandela 1918-2013
This is Nelson Mandela for the people who did not know of him or confuse him with Morgan Freeman. He is an activist and at a young age was in a struggle to search for food and survive with his older brother and sister who were later separated from him. he struggled through 27 years of prison and yet was later elected as president. he fought for the end of segregation and poverty and of course the notorious struggle during the "apartheid". this is a huge accomplishment and ending at 95.

I can't believe people don't know who Nelson Mandela is. C'mon 'Murica!
