He became a lawyer for the African National Congress and vowed to overthrow apartheid. He was later arrested for treason and was sentenced to life in prison. When news got out about Mandela's arrest to the rest of the world, people realized what was happening in Africa and started to help out. People would organize protests in order to attempt to end Apartheid and free Mandela. He was later freed by F. W. De Klerk and helped to end apartheid, eventually winning a Nobel peace prize.]]> 2022-05-17 14:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cutsy321/Never_Gonna_Give_You_Up/wish/2187732963 cutsy321 https://padlet.com/cutsy321/Never_Gonna_Give_You_Up/wish/2189549048 The African National Congress, or ANC, was formed in 1912 in order to bring all Africans together and to fight for their rights.
