achievement?
Answers
Answer:
Nelson Mandela mentions 'extraordinary human' at the beginning of his speech referring to the inhuman practice of apartheid. At the end of his speech, the 'glorious human achievement' that he spoke of refers to the establishment of the first democratic and non-racial government in South Africa.
Mandela always thought that both oppressor and oppressed are deprived of their humanity. Oppressor is a prisoner of hatred while oppressed has no confidence in humanity, so both of them need to be liberated. He always desired people to live with dignity and respect.
He talked about the freedom to live the lives with dignity and self-respect. Mandela focused on the lack of these freedoms which the People of South Africa have faced. ... Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944 because it gave him a way to work for human rights and racial justice.
