Nelson Mandela

The Road to Reconciliation

Decision 1 of 3 · ≈5 minutes

Imagine you are Nelson Mandela. You know only what he knew in 1961.

South Africa | 1961

For fifty years the ANC has fought apartheid, a system of brutal racial segregation, through nonviolent protest. The government's response has been massacres, bans, and imprisonment. Mandela is living underground, convinced that peaceful resistance alone cannot move a state willing to kill its own people.

THE DECISION

Continue nonviolent resistance or form an armed wing and launch sabotage operations against the state.

Hold the nonviolent position

Continue mass protest and international pressure.

Form an armed wing and begin sabotage

Launch sabotage operations against state infrastructure.
