Elias was a poor black worker with little . Not having a passbook, he would become
of work. So he turned
Mandela for help. At that time, black people were not as
as white people. At first, Mandela encouraged the black people to fight in a
way, but it was not allowed.
then did they decide to
violence with violence. Elias helped Mandela blow
some government buildings.
he didn’t like violence, he knew it would help them
their dream of making black and white people have the same rights.
