Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu has used his status as arch bishop of the Anglican Church of South Africa as voice for the oppressed on a global basis. Coming into world view with his work to undo apartheid in South Africa, he has worked to create a framework of anti-oppression work (or a pedagogy of hope as Paulo Freire would place it). Most recently Tutu criticized Israeli politicians as creating an apartheid against the Palestinians (more on that here: http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Desmond-Tutu-Israel-guilty-of-apartheid-in-treatment-of-Palestinians-344874)
(I have placed Bishop Tutu with an umbrella as his spiritual emphasis on inclusion of all regardless of orientation in addition to his playful demeanor in an interview here: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/may/23/interview-desmond-tutu )
