An Interview With South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu On His 75th Birthday

by Democracy Now (reposted)
On the day of announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize, we play an interview with another Nobel Peace Prize winner -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Earlier this week he turned 75 years old.
We end today’s show with the words of South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In 1984 Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize. At the time he was at the forefront of the anti-apartheid campaign. Earlier this week he turned 75 years old. Over one thousandspeople, including Nelson Mandela, gathered in Johannesburg to pay tribute to the man.

A new biography on Desmond Tutu has just been published. It is titled "Rabble Rouser for Peace." I had the opportunity to interview Desmond Tutu two years ago. He was visiting New York for a reading of the play Guantanamo at the Culture Project. I began by asking him for his response to what is happening at Guantanamo.
