how did Nelson Mandela learn from his comtades in the struggle for freedom
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Having cofounded the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League in 1944 at the age of 26, Mandela spent almost his entire adult life living the struggle for freedom and racial equality in South Africa. As he did so, he faced increasingly brutal and dehumanizing treatment at the hands of his oppressors. In his earlier years, he was repeatedly “banned,” meaning he was not allowed to attend meetings, speak publicly, be quoted in the press, or travel beyond a certain area. As he refused to relent and denounce the struggle, he was repeatedly arrested and imprisoned in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town, often held in solitary confinement, barred from communicating with the outside world, and made to suffer miserable living conditions.
Because of his commitment to the struggle, Mandela was eventually forced to forego a normal family life and abandon his legal practice. By the time he was sentenced to life imprisonment, he had already spent many years either underground or locked up, away from his family, friends, and home. Even after the life sentence at the conclusion of the Rivonia trial in 1964, his commitment and belief in the fight for freedom never wavered. He emerged from prison on February 11, 1990, as devoted to the principles of equality and democracy as he had been 27 years earlier.
