Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of the most important figures in racial injustice in South Africa, has died according to South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa. “The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa,” the president said in a statement. Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his help in ending apartheid in South Africa.
