What happened that Mandela decided to fight for the right of people?

Nelson Mandela was inspired to fight for the rights of people due to the systemic racial oppression and injustices he witnessed in South Africa under apartheid. The harsh realities of segregation, discrimination, and the denial of basic human rights for the black majority deeply affected him. His involvement in the African National Congress (ANC) and exposure to the struggles of his people galvanized his commitment to the liberation movement, leading him to become a prominent advocate for equality and social justice.
