Unit5 Nelson Mandela--a modern hero
Watch a video
1. What was Mandela like in many people’ s eyes?
2. Why was Mr. Mandela arrested and put on trial?
1. To many, Mandela was a hero, a man of courage, conviction and vision. He was often called humble, charming, loyal and a man who cared about others.
2. Because of his actions against the government.
Why did he fight against the goverment?
At that time, white people and black people were not equal, and this is totally unfair, so Mandela fighted for equal rights for blacks.
