The correct option is "Nelson Mandela"

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a lawyer, activist against apartheid, politician and South African philanthropist who presided over his country from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black chief executive who headed the Executive Power, and the first to be elected by universal suffrage in his country . His government was dedicated to dismantling the social and political structure inherited from apartheid through the fight against institutionalized racism, poverty and social inequality, and the promotion of social reconciliation. He was imprisoned for 27 years, first on Robben Island and then in Pollsmoor and Víctor Verster prisons. International campaigns advocated his release, and he was released in 1990 amid a social upheaval in South Africa. He intervened in the political negotiations with Frederik de Klerk to abolish apartheid and establish the general elections of 1994, in which he led the ANC to triumph at the polls.

Why is the American Indian movement important to U.S. history? how has this shaped us?​
AfilCa [17]
Its original purpose was to help Indians in urban ghettos who had been displaced by government programs that had the effect of forcing them from the reservations. Its goals eventually encompassed the entire spectrum of Indian demands—economic independence, revitalization of traditional culture, protection of legal rights, and, most especially, autonomy over tribal areas and the restoration of lands that they believed had been illegally seized.

Was the stamp act the first act?
JulijaS [17]
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first internal tax levied directly on American colonists by the British government. The act, which imposed a tax on all paper documents in the colonies, came at a time when the British Empire was deep in debt from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) and looking to its North American colonies as a revenue source. Arguing that only their own representative assemblies could tax them, the colonists insisted that the act was unconstitutional, and they resorted to mob violence to intimidate stamp collectors into resigning. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, but issued a Declaratory Act at the same time to reaffirm its authority to pass any colonial legislation it saw fit. The issues of taxation and representation raised by the Stamp Act strained relations with the colonies to the point that, 10 years later, the colonists rose in armed rebellion against the British. <span> </span> <span> </span>
