Nelson Mandela
Enmanuel Santana, Vincent Sposato
Claim: Nelson Mandela never stopped believing in his beliefs
Evidence #1
On paragraph 7, Lines 1 and 2, under the title "Imprisoned" the author states "Mandela continued to fight apartheid as a member of the ANC, which the government banned in 1960. In 1964, he was arrested again, this time for participation in an illegal organization and for treason. The court sentenced Mandela to life imprisonment." This proves that he believed in his beliefs because he went to jail for his beliefs
Evidence #2
On paragraph 9, Lines 1 to 3 under continuing the fight the author states that " In 1990, the South African government finally responded to international pressure and released Mandela. The activist became leader of the ANC. By this time, the country's government had become more flexible; Mandela worked with leaders to end apartheid. For their efforts, Mandela and President F.W. de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize." This proves that he accomplished his belief and never stopped on it.
