Little Nelson grew up learning about the racial divisions in South Africa and the unfair treatment of his people. As an adult, he protested against apartheid, a system that separated people based on the color of their skin... until he was imprisoned. But despite his long walk to freedom, Nelson never gave up the fight for justice and equality, and became an icon around the world. This inspiring story of the life of South Africa's first Black president features a facts and photos section at the back.
