Archbishop Emeritus Desmond M. Tutu

Archbishop Tutu is often described as ‘South Africa’s moral conscience’ and is a global champion for human rights. A passionate and compelling speaker, Tutu took the anti-apartheid struggle to the world. In his own country, he led thousands of people in demonstrations, always preaching non-violence. In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and later chaired South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission to examine apartheid-era crimes.
