How Did Mandela’s ‘Hunger for Freedom’ Change his Life?

Answer: When Mandela was young, he discovered that not only was his freedom restricted, but the freedom of all black citizens was restricted.

  • This turned a terrifying man into a brave rebel in the system 
  • To fight for the freedom of his compatriots, Mandela denied the joy of safe family life
  • He attended the African National Congress and changed his view from a scared young man to one who was unaware of the fear of fighting racial prejudice and discrimination
