Why color nelson mandela pictures?

Nelson Mandela was a revolutionary, politician and philanthropist who served as president of South Africa in the period from 1994 to 1999. He was born on July 18, 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa, a small village in the Eastern Cape province.

Mandela was a prominent leader in the struggle against discrimination and racial segregation in Africa, for which he was imprisoned for 27 years, until he managed to get out thanks to his negotiations with the president of South Africa at that time, Frederik de Klerk.
