Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu passed away on December 26, 2021 in Cape Town, South Africa.  He was the first black African to become an Archbishop of both Johannesburg and Cape Town.  He told the world about apartheid in South Africa.  An uncompromising foe of apartheid, South Africa's brutal regime of oppression against the black majority he worked tirelessly, though non-violently for it's downfall.  In 1984 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

He had a remarkable life and lived his faith.  Rest in peace Desmond Tutu.
