Everyone Disliked That

Sharpeville Massacre: Happened

People: S H O T

ANC: Banned

Mandela: Arrested

Everyone: PROTEST RAVE

.

In the 1960s, Mandela was involved in a protest that turned violent rather quickly. People were scared and hurt with many detained- Mandela being one of them. As a result of the massacre, ANC had been banned in a state of emergency and the government of South Africa implemented more ways to keep people in check. As Mandela was arrested in 1962 and jailed, around the world people became more aware. Protests throughout the nations were made into festivals where people held up signs and gathered to show support for his release. Even after Mandela was released, Global Citizen continued their festivals in honor to him.

Mandela in Prison

Mandela: *turns to prisoner* Hey uh.... you hear that?

Prisoner: Hear what?

Mandela: The people Sing.

Prisoner: WHa-

Mandela: Singing the song of angry men

Prisoner: That's not even-

Mandela: This is the music of the people who will not be slaves again

.

Mandela's time in prison was a struggle, he described in Long Walk to Freedom about his hardships, the dramatic highs, and the depressing lows of his journey. In prisons there have been accounts of aborted escape plans and people coming together for a change. He had even helped the prisoners petition for pants to not only survive the long winter nights but no longer allow the prisoners to be shamed. Even got a tennis court to be placed.

His time in prison had him changing to different facilities. As the facilities changed, so did the visitors. Many diplomats and presidents began to take notice and played a part to Freeing Mandela.
