Excuse me sir, may I see your pass? These words mean very little to most Americans; however these words meant fear in the hearts of black South Africans during the times of apartheid. While apartheid was being practiced, blacks were restricted in the jobs they could hold, facilities they could use, as well as the places they attend, and all blacks had to carry passes for identification purposes. When the passes where not in order they would be arrested. If they didn’t cooperate they would be hit, kicked and other terrible things. These terrifying times, one man raised above all the rest, in the effort to combat this terrible practice of apartheid. This man was Nelson Mandela; A man, who was so dedicated to the overthrow of apartheid that he was willing to spend twenty-seven years of his life in prison.
When analyzing Mandela's life, several questions come to mind. First of all, what was the extent of the apartheid laws which Mandela and the people of South Africa were facing?
