Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela on July 18, 1918, at Mvezo in the Transkei in South Africa. He received the name “Nelson” from a teacher when he attended primary school in 1925.
Mandela was a pioneer in ending apartheid and fostering reconciliation in South Africa in the 1990s and sparked change around the world. In 1994, he became South Africa’s first Black president and the first democratically elected one.
Before his presidency, he was imprisoned for 27 years for standing up to human rights abuses toward Black South Africans by the apartheid government.
After stepping down as president at the end of his term, Mandela became a philanthropist who focused on education. He pursued rural development, construction of schools, and fighting HIV/AIDS through the Nelson Mandela Foundation, which he founded in 1999.
He died at the age of 95 on December 5, 2013.
