• Day One:
• 1. Quiet Question: Type Two Prompt---Working with your partner, read the
following two primary source excerpts from Nelson Mandela and answer the
corresponding questions.
• Passage One:
• “In conclusion, I wish to go to my own words during my trial in 1964, they are as
true today as they were then: I have fought against white domination, and I have
fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and
free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal
opportunity. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, if need
be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”
• a) How does Nelson Mandela define democracy? Explain. Is this how you
define democracy? Why or why not?
•
• b) How badly does Nelson Mandela want this for his country? Would you be
willing to make a similar sacrifice if you were a black citizen of one of the African
countries who fought for independence from colonization? Why or why not?

Passage Two:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness,
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, whom am I
To be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually,
Who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
You’re playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about
Shrinking so that other people won’t
Feel insecure around you.
You were born to make manifest
The glory of God.
That is within us.
It’s not just some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our light shine,
We unconsciously
Give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.”
c) According to this Nelson Mandela speech, what causes people to be inadequate? When the African people were a colony
under an European power and through decolonization, how were they made to feel inadequate? Explain.

• 2. Class: Nelson Mandela was one of the greatest leaders against racist
governments in the twentieth century. He has been grouped in the
categories of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, as all three men used Civil
Disobedience as means to fight against oppression. To help introduce the
system of Apartheid in South Africa that Nelson Mandela spent his life
fighting to overthrow, we are going to watch a few United Streaming Film
Clips on Apartheid.
