Nelson Mandela by: Taylor Grant-Gates



   On Friday we lost one of the greatest souls that has changed the face of the people of thi world. Nelson Mandela. This was a man that fought for equal rights for citzens in South Africa. Much like the late Martin Luther King Jr. Nelson Mandela fought for justice and peace. He was incarcerated for many years and was not able to see his family blossom and grow with his own eyes. He was very much so shut out from the world. but even though his physical presence was not there , his ideal lived on. Nelson Mandela was a powerful man he was one man that looked for the uplifting of a people that were being oppressed. Nelson Mandela may have passed but his legacy WILL live on!
