The Story
What inspires me about Mr. Tutu is that he is a passionate critic of injustice and the voice of the poor and powerless. He constantly raises awareness of global crises like AIDS, global warming, and the need to advance peace and reconciliation worldwide. He also has the ability to convey difficult messages with clarity and compassion that make him a loved and respected man of our time. He has also proved himself as an inspired and prayerful leader whose spirituality is at the root of his concern.
Mr. Tutu played a huge role in uniting white and black South Africans in a peaceful manner.
