This milestone in history inspired many blacks who have been defeated that anything can happen if you fight for it without the use of violence, being compassionate and kind, working hard for what is right. I ask questions like what if Nelson Mandela didn’t become president of South Africa? What if he didn’t fight for what it is right? Would slavery still exist? Asking myself these questions remind me of the journey to freedom and major change. Without people willing to fight, we will still be living in a world where because of the color of one’s skin it determined how well we would live, how well we would be treated. We still live in a corrupted world and racism isn’t dead but at least we have ten times the opportunities laid out for us to take and show the world. This is what Nelson fought for and he left us with a legacy that we can still appreciate years from
