Archbishop Tutu loved, cried and forgave

A quote from the Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "I loved, I cried, I was forgiven and I forgave." 

He was the first black Archbishop of Cape Town.

Archbishop Tutu chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses committed by both pro and anti-apartheid groups. 

Tutu campaigned for gay rights and spoke out on a wide range of subjects, among them his support of Palestinians.

He also met the Dunne’s Stores strikers who opposed the apartheid South African government.
