Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (July 18, 1918 - December 5, 2013) was the
former leader of the African National Congress (ANC). He was known for
his lifelong struggle against apartheid (enforced racial separation),
which was instituted in South Africa in 1948. The ANC was soon declared
a terrorist organization and banned by the South African government.
Mandela was arrested in 1962 and imprisoned for life on "terrorist"
charges, but in 1990, he was freed by South African president
F.W. de Klerk. In 1994, Mandela was
elected president of South Africa.
Two biographical films were made and Mandela and de Klerk (1997) focused on Mandela's life's struggles.
