A
His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.

A few years after Mom died,
Dad showed up for lunch wearing the soft smile that took over his face whenever
he was thinking about her. "I've found these," he said, handing me a bag.
"She would have wanted you to have them."
I opened the bag to find
dozens of shells, each one bearing Mom's handwritten words: Stone Harbor, N. J.
— 8-98. They were pretty common, but to Mom, they were evidence of her
endlessly magical life.
She was 61 when she
collected these shells, already showing signs of the lung disease that would
kill her the next year. Mom needed an adventure. She loved seashore. So we
decided to take her to Jersey Shore.
As soon as I said "Jersey Shore", she started to shout over
and over again— "I can't believe I'm going
to New Jersey!"
Once we got to Stone
Harbor, Mom acted like the town mayor, greeting everyone as if they were loyal
constituents. And she spent hours collecting shells on the beach. The morning
we left, I found her photographing every corner of her bedroom. "I don't even want to forget
this," she said.
For a long time, Mom's
shells stayed buried in a drawer. Last month, I rediscovered them. I put them
where I can easily to see them. One by one, the shells are finding a new place
in my home. They remind me to live a life like my mother — who never lost her
sense of passion.
