The world today mourns Nelson Mandela, who died in his South African home at age 95 after leading a historic and world-changing life. His death has sparked global celebrations of his legacy, discussions of his impact and debate over his ideology and politics. It can seem like everyone has a strongly held opinion about him.
You may find yourself, though, among the people who are generally aware of the contours of Mandela's life but may feel lost in the details of that life and what it meant for the world. It's okay – we can't all be Mandela scholars. Here, then, are the most basic answers to your most basic questions. First, a disclaimer: This is not an exhaustive or definitive account of this very important story, just some background, written so that anyone can understand it.
1. Who was Nelson Mandela?

Nelson Mandela, born in 1918, was a South African political activist who campaigned, sometimes violently, to end apartheid (more on apartheid later) starting in the 1940s. He was elected president in 1994, after apartheid was abolished, and served one term. He spent the rest of his life as an elder statesman.
Mandela's most important accomplishments were helping to end apartheid and then to help lead South Africa away from its deep racial divides and toward pluralistic democracy.
People have been arguing for decades over whether the Nelson Mandela of the 1940s, '50s and '60s is best described as a political leader, a freedom-fighter or a terrorist. Almost no one calls him a "terrorist" anymore, of course, but some people did for a long time – especially here in the United States. That Mandela got the world to embrace him and his movement is also a big part of what makes him so important.
