The Book of Forgiving – Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu – NEW RELEASE

Originally posted on Feed My Reads South Africa:

Desmond Mpilo Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and was only the second black person ever to receive it. In 1986 he was elected archbishop of Cape Town, the highest position in the Anglican Church in South Africa. In 1994, after the end of apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela, Tutu was appointed as chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate apartheid-era crimes.

He is currently the chair of The Elders, where he gives vocal defense of human rights and campaigns for the oppressed.
