Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944, and then joined the resistance against the ruling National Party's (NP) apartheid laws after 1948. After the ANC was banned in 1960, Mandela argued for setting up a military wing of the ANC. In 1961, the ANC formed the Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962. In 1990, F. W. de Klerk officially ended apartheid, and Mandela was released. He became the first black president of South Africa in 1994.
