Nelson Mandela was regarded as one of the greatest leaders in the world. He died at the age of 95. He became his country’s first black president after 27 years in prison. Do you want to know why he spent so many years in prison? Read more and find more facts.
When Nelson Mandela was a young man, white and black people in South Africa lived separate lives. White people, who were a small part of the population, were in charge of the country. At that time, it was illegal for black people to use the same schools, hospitals, and even beaches as white people. Mandela was lucky. He was one of the few black people in the 1950s of South Africa to receive education and become a successful lawyer.
Nelson Mandela believed that everybody should be treated equally. He joined some different demonstrations to fight against a system called apartheid.
Sometimes the demonstrations turned violent and in 1962 Mandela was sent to a prison which was on Robben Island. But many people around the world campaigned for his release. Songs were written and big concerts were held in protest. Finally in 1990 the South African President FW de Klerk--a white man--allowed him to go free.

When she heard her father say to her mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and took her money and counted it carefully.
She ran to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the man. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really ill and I want to buy a miracle.” “say it again?” said the man.
“My brother Andrew has something wrong with his head and my father says only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle ?” “We don’t have a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the man said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it is”
Another man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered .“He’s really sick and my mother says he needs an operation. But my father has no money for it, so I brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, you are lucky,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11 of a miracle for little brothers.”
He held the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your home. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Maybe I have the kind of miracle you need.”
