Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a man of immense moral authority, has been one of the leading figures, both in the fight against apartheid in South Africa and the efforts to heal his country through a process of "truth and reconciliation."  In recognition of his campaign for "truth, freedom and justice" in South Africa, Tutu received the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize.
