What did George Washington, Yasir Arafat, & Nelson Mandela have in common from the time period before ascending to top leadership positions?



 Hint: had it not been for the specific circumstances at the time that these illegal acts were committed, they would have prevented the three men from becoming their people's leaders.

      Still close, but I'm looking for specific acts that all three of them performed. Hint: had it not been for the circumstances, these illegal  acts would have prevented them from becoming their people's leaders.

    They were all professional 'rappers'. I'll take another guess. They were all jailed. This post was edited by Element 99 at February 19, 2018 7:18 AM MST

    Close. You're correct in your answer, but I'm seeking more specific acts that they performed as revolutionaries.
