Chapter 22
The topics that this section discusses that was interesting to me were: Ghandi and South Africa's fight for independence. I remember reading about Ghandi a few years back and always hearing his name but, the things he stood for did not stick to my brain. After reading this section I have found out even more information about him. For instance, he was a lawyer that worked in south Africa that had his first taste of racism which had pushed him to change the way things were and unite the people. He started off with the Hindus and Muslims. And influenced by Ghandi, Nelson Mandela decided to take action in trying to persuade the whites not to be the sole keeper of the funds in a non violent way. After all it was this way due to the color on their backs and not their intelligence. Those that took power of South Africa didn't know if the towns people could control their own lands or not but assumed they could.
