On August 5, 1962, Nelson Mandela was arrested in South Africa. He was not released from prison until February 11, 1990. Four years later, he became the first black President of South Africa.

Although Mandela had a complicated relationship with capitalism, he was a leader in the fight for liberty in South Africa.
