Bishop Tutu Calls for a Return to Human Rights
Desmond Tutu is not a reticent man. This is unsurprising-as a religious leader and one of the foremost human rights advocates of the last 30 years, he has given endless speeches, talks, and interviews, in addition to writing seven books and countless sermons and essays. What is perhaps a little surprising, however, is his unflagging good cheer; recently he spoke with me from 6,000 miles away in gray Belfast, and yet it felt as though at any moment he might reach across the Atlantic, grab me by the shoulder, and shake some sense into me.
