IRB Introduction - "Long Way to Freedom"

The IRB I have selected is "Long Walk to Freedom" by Nelson Mandela. This book is an autobiography of Nelson Mandela's life. It describes how he grew up and became the man that he was, and how he changed South Africa and the world. I choose this book because I am interested in Nelson Mandela and the civil rights work that he did in South Africa. He made an impact on his country and the world, and I wanted to learn more about it. By reading this book, I hope to gain more knowledge about Nelson Mandela's life and his work. I want to get a better understanding of how life was during those times, and how he was able to work so hard to get to where he was. I feel like it is a very inspiration and interesting story, and I wanted to learn more about it.
