A hero's is someone who sees something that needs to be done and does it no matter the cost to themselves. For this reason, Nelson Mandela is seen as one of history's most inspirational, influential and respected figures. When Nelson was a young boy, South Africa was divided into two categories, the white and the black people. The black people of the time lived separated and oppressed lives under a system called apartheid. For Nelson and all other darked skinned people, it was illegal to attend the same schools, hospitals and beaches as white people. He saw and felt the injustice in which they all received, so he began to fight against the apartheid, to create a society where colours did not segregate citizens and everyone had equal rights.
