1990: NELSON MANDELA IS FREED FROM JAIL

In 1990, Nelson Mandela was released after spending almost 30 years in jail for opposing South Africa's apartheid regime. He then became the first democratically-elected State President of South Africa, leading the country from 1994 to 1999. His leadership helped to unite the country after many years of conflict between the black and white communities.
