Biography:
Desmond Mpilo Tutu (born
October 7th,
1931) is a
South African
cleric and activist who rose to
worldwide fame during the
1980s as an opponent of
apartheid. Tutu was elected and
ordained the first black South African
Anglican
Archbishop of
Cape Town, South Africa, and
primate of the
Church of the Province of Southern Africa,
South Africa's church body comprising the
worldwide Anglican Communion. He was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize in
1984. He was generally credited with
coining the term
Rainbow Nation as a metaphor to
describe post-apartheids
South Africa after 1994 under
ANC rule. The expression has since
entered mainstream consciousness to describe
South Africa's ethnic diversity.
