A collection of key speeches, sermons and lectures from the career of Archbishop Desmond Tutu
The first black Archbishop of Cape Town, Tutu won the Nobel Peace
Prize for his leadership of the South African Truth and
Reconciliation Commission and was Chair of a group of former world
leaders, The Elders, which aims to tackle some of the world's most
intractable problems. He helped calm the political crisis in Kenya
and regularly spoke out against Mugabe, Israel, the Iraq War and
the Burmese junta, but is also noted for his irrepressible sense of
humour and deep spirituality. He lived in South Africa and
travelled widely. Tutu died on the 26th December 2021, at the age
of 90.
Working first as a journalist in South Africa, and then as Tutu's
Press Secretary, John Allen was invited to join the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission as Director of Communications in 1995.
Next he was aide to Tutu when the Archbishop taught in Atlanta for
two years. He lives in South Africa.
