Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela, a true hero in this controversial world or just another politician? Was his 27 years of imprisonment for standing up against his nations government, which did not support human rights, equality and world poverty, something the country of Africa should be proud about?

Sooner than expected, all 156 visionaries were arrested for high treason and were to face a tortuous 5-year trial. Later on in 1962 Mandela was once again arrested, this time for travelling without a
