Nelson Mandela

Discover the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. Little Nelson grew up learning about the racial divisions in South Africa and the unfair treatment of his people. As an adult, he protested against apartheid, a system that separated people based on the colour of their skin... until he was imprisoned. But despite his long walk to freedom, Nelson never gave up the fight for justice and equality, and became an icon around the world.
