life. We were able to learn about his childhood, college education, political view,
trials, fight against apartheid, and term as President of South Africa. This was
crucial information we needed to know before starting on the website.

O’Malley, Padraig. “Letter from Nelson Mandela to Sir De Villiers Graaff, Leader of the
United Party.” Received by Sir de Villiers Graaff, 107 Central St, Houghton

This letter from Nelson Mandel to Sir De Villiers Graaff gave us a better
understanding of the measures that Mandela took to acheive his main goal of
defeating apartheid, The call for a National Convention was ignored by both the
government and official opposition. Plans for the stay-at-home were put into play
as Republic Day came closer.

was, and how he achieved his goals. In this video, Mandela makes a speech to the
new generation of leaders. We simply used this video to gain an understanding of
how Mandela responded as a result of achieving his life long goal of ending
apartheid.
