"During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunity. It is ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, if need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die" -Nelson Mandela Can you imagine spending around 9, 855 days of your life in prison? I can't. This idea of FREEDOM and SOCIETY. Prison systems never cease to amaze me because they are so inhumane to me. This man went into prison with the same ideas as when he was re
leased. Not only did he fight against the white domination but black dominations as well. He fought for what was just and right to all humans.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mohandas Ghandi
"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mohandas Gandhi
Gandhi was a man of his country. He wanted to keep the traditions and fundamental roots instilled in his country. In India, Muslims and Hindus were the main religions and had very opinionated differences. These opinionated differences led to the division of Pakistan and India. Gandhi wanted to set aside religious differences and come together as one country once again.
