Why was Nelson Mandela overwhelmed with a sense of history? Answer with reference to the chapter Nelson Mandela

Dear Student.

Mandela remembered all that had happened in the country in the past and felt very emotional on realizing the impact it had on the lives of every single person involved in the struggle. He remembered the revolution and its consequences. He emphasized that the victory that the Africans attained was common freedom for all the people over the world. He referred to this as "a common victory for justice, for peace, for human dignity."

We hope that this answer solves your query.
