"South African Trilogy" is composed of three protest songs that centered

Africa.

it compare to our own struggle for civil rights in the United States?

African National Congress do ease tensions and to move forward?
3. No leader is perfect in their leadership. Where did Mandela fall
short? What were some of the problems of his presidency?
