Inauguration of Nelson Mandela as South Africa president
Nelson Mandela is the Nobel peace price recipient in 1991 and the first democratically elected president of South Africa in 1994; a country a country that was ruled for centuries by white minorities .He spent over twenty five years of his life behind bars , and whose only crime was of being black and a human rights advocate during the apartheid era.During the period,the basic rights such as : the right to vote were denied to the native South Africans while the United States of America, a nation that proclaimed itself as the defender of human rights looked the other way.Mandela’s inauguration day was a source of inspiration and pride to millions of youth throughout the African continent.It showed us(the youth) that an African can thrive in a western dominated world if he or she got educated.
