The passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of South Africa's leading anti-aparthied heroes, is an enormous loss to the global community. He was widely known for speaking fearlessly against the ills of society everywhere in the world, not just in South Africa. Archbishop Tutu will be remembered for speaking truth to power regardless of who was involved - be it the fearsome apartheid leaders, or those of the African National Congress that followed them or leaders around the world. Archbishop Tutu also served as head of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, focusing primarily on healing a devided nation. H. E. GEORGE MANNEH WEAH Sr.President of the Republic of Liberia
