NELSON MANDELA


Nelson Mandela retired as President in 1999, and when he retired South Africa had problems, and the biggest problem was that people had to be sent away from their homes so they could become slaves for the whites. The whites torture the blacks by busting their houses killing and hanging them. 

From 2004, he gave up politics, to enjoy a quiet life with his family. He was in prison for 27 years, and he got released in 1990 11 February. He had to be kept in prison until he dies, but someone released him. Nelson Mandela also got tortured too, and their are still racism going on in some cities in America these days.

MARTIN LUTHER KING

Marching down the Mall towards the Lincoln Memorial we felt united having a little support from our past enemies. We all held up signs saying that we want freedom and equal rights. “Hurry Zion”, I yelled as we raced to the front of the huge crowed.  I really wanted to see Martin Luther King, “WAIT”, Zion shouted.. Zion sprinted towards me and said “Do you think they won't treat us bad again?”, I whispered in his ear and said “I Think”.

Glancing at Martin Luther king, My family and I held hands as he got ready to say his speech. His Speech started with “I HAD A DREAM”, He was so confident and he had a Big smile on his face. hopefully he made the Whites realized their not the only people in this world. I  turned and looked at the crowd, people were crying and hugging each other, seeing them being emotional mad me cry. My Mum said  “If we're lucky enough we could all have freedom. and nobody got hurt.” that's when I  started to feel happy!

RAINBOW WORRIOR

In 1985 an awful event happened. Fernando pereira was in a ship called Rainbow
warrior as they celebrated the director of the anti-nuclear movements 29th birthday of the Greenpeace. while they were celebrating two french spies wearing scuba gear dived secretly under the rainbow warrior and attached two olympic bombs onto the ship. The two bombs exploded just before midnight leaving Fernando pereira dead inside the wrecked ship.

Two French spies were arrested but three others escaped in a yacht. Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart was found guilty of manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years in prison because of the bombing. They were sent to a small island in the Pacific but in two years, they returned to their countrie. Later the French President told them that he had been involved in the bombing to the rainbow warrior. The French government wanted to stop Greenpeace from protesting their nuclear testing in the Pacific. After That the French government had paid $13million to New Zealand.

The negative impact of the nuclear weapon could affect a lot of people like Death, Radiation, Poisoning, health Problems, Cancer, Birth Definity. Thats why we shouldn't have any nuclear weapons in our world so nobody could get hurt we could have Nuclear Free Zone.
