Nelson+Mandela+and+Apartheid+in+Africa

=Nelson Mandela and Apartheid in South Africa= A white minority had both dominated and segregated blacks and other nonwhites since the Dutch and British settled what is now South Africa in the late 1600s and 1700s. South Africa's race laws were abolished after a long, sometimes violent struggle. Nelson Mandela, who led the military wing of the leading anti-apartheid group, the African National Congress (A.N.C.), was arrested and sent to jail with a life sentence in 1962. On June 17, 1991, South Africa's Parliament voted to repeal the legal framework for apartheid. Three years later, Mandela was elected President.
