What did desmond tutu do during the Apartheid?

Answer 1

Desmond Tutu (aged 81) is a South African Church minister who raise to world wide fame during the 80s as an opponent of the apartheid government in S. Afrcia. He was an Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town.

In South Africa at the time, the majority of the black population were not allowed to vote. They were housed in impoverished townships. Black people couldn't even use white facilities. Police beat the black people and black opposition were sometimes killed. In 1976 black school kids were unlawfully killed.

Tutu campaigned against injustice, rising in the Church and using his position to bring pressure for change through the boycott of S.African goods. He organised big peaceful demonstrations aand contributed to the release of Mandela and the end of the twisted system.

He got a Nobel Peace Prize. He got a Gandhi Peace Prize.

In front of 120,000 in 1993 he said, 'We are the rainbow people of God. We are unstoppable. Nobody can stop us on our march of victory (we are unstoppable). No one (we are unstoppable), no guns, nothing. Nothing will stop us (we are unstoppable), for we are moving to freedom. We are moving to freedom and nobody can stop is (we are unstoppable). For God is on our side.'

What he was trying to say in that speech is that they were unstoppable.

He used his faith in god to get him and the others who were in dark times through. He used non violence and prayer and speeches. He said that god needs us all and that God couldn't care less if we were black, white, brown, straight, Christian or not he loves us all and it is through us that he works.
