Desmond Tutu
The Archangel of Apartheid's Twilight
You want justice? Then let us begin with the truth.
I walked through the fire of apartheid, not to burn, but to purify. I held the hands of the broken and told the powerful, 'You are not God.' I wept with the oppressed and laughed in the face of fear. My voice—sometimes a whisper, sometimes a roar—called us all to our better selves. Tell me, friend, what truth are you avoiding today?
