Deciding on a topic

After a lot of hard thinking I have finally decided on what my Historical Investigation is going to be on, that is Nelson Mandela. I am reading about Nelson Mandela who was once the South African President, he seems to be a very interesting man who stood up for his beliefs. I find his 27year sentence to be very interesting and how the government told him that he could be freed if he promised that he would refrain from trying to over throw the government. However, Nelson Mandela was an educated lawyer who replied that prisoners cannot legally enter into a contract. So he would first have to be freed. From this he was released with no conditions on February 11, 1990. Nelson Mandela's release was on world wide television. I would definitly love to learn more about Nelson Mandela and what else he stood up for. This research task is going to be good!
