Extractions: by Will Pitts Fredrik Willem de Klerk Nobel Peace Prize. To understand how F.W de Klerk came to do so much for his country. It is necessary to look at his past. De Klek’s family were Dutch Afrikaners, but none of his relatives took part in the journey to the states that the Afrikaners moved to after the British came and took over, but his family is made up of Dutch Afrikaners (de klerk 1 -10). As a child he was born in Voorekker, inside Pretoria. His mother’s name was Cornellia Cortzer. She was from the Orange Free state(de Klerk, .12-26). His father was the head master at a learning facility, and then moved on to work and became part of The "White Workers Protection Union", the organization that brought apartheid into his life. His dad died in 1979 and his mom continued to raise him. (De Klerk, F.W.12-26).De Klerk grew up with a Christian background, and his family and surroundings influenced him to take part in apartheid. De klerk attended more than four different schools, which gave him a variety of academic studies. De Klerk was enrolled in the grandest Afrikaners school there was, Monument High School, which was located in Krugerdrop (de klerk, 24-46). Because de klerk had few friends at school he soon became involved in school politics. De Klerk was smart and used his intelligence not only in his academic studies, but also in school government, which would start his life of politics (de klerk, 24-27). In 1954, he attended the University of Potchefstroom, a Christian school. There he played a huge role in the

Extractions: Name: Fredrik Willem de Klerk Birth Date: March 18, 1936 Place of Birth: Johannesburg, South Africa Nationality: South African Gender: Male Occupations: president, politician Fredrik Willem de Klerk Main Biography Fredrik Willem de Klerk (born 1936) was state president of South Africa from 1989 to 1994. He abruptly pointed his country in a new direction in 1990 by opening negotiations with previously outlawed anti-apartheid organizations. In 1989 Fredrik Willem de Klerk was described by one observer of South African politics as "strongly loyal to National Party interests and a cautious, not bold, mover," an opinion shared by most analysts. Thus few were prepared for the dramatic news of February 11, 1990, when de Klerk announced the release of Nelson Mandela, the South African resistance leader, from prison after 27 years. At the same time, de Klerk restored to legality the African National Congress (ANC), the Pan-Africanist Congress, the South African Communist Party, and other opposition groups. These moves, far from cautious, thoroughly revolutionized the political landscape of South Africa. Brief Overview of South African History

Extractions: Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Peace Prize Laureate, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, "The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2004 to Wangari Maathai for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace. Peace on earth depends on our ability to secure our living environment. Maathai stands at the front of the fight to promote ecologically viable social, economic and cultural development in Kenya and in Africa. She has taken a holistic approach to sustainable development that embraces democracy, human rights and women's rights in particular. She thinks globally and acts locally." These are the opening sentences of the Committee's statement of its reasons for this year's Peace Prize award on the 8th of October. "My God, my God", Wangari Maathai exclaimed, when the Director of the Nobel Institute called her on a poor mobile phone connection to tell her that she had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2004. She bubbled over with joy, and the news was all over the world in an instant - a good twenty minutes before the official announcement in Oslo! Maathai was visiting the little village of Ihururu, 95 kilometres north of Nairobi, distributing food from the government. Her Kenyan listeners - mostly women - clapped politely when she told them that she had been awarded the Peace Prize. But they laughed out loud when she told them that she had been given so much money that she couldn't even count it.
