This week, we present an archival City Arts & Lectures program recorded in 2010 with the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, in conversation with Roy Eisenhardt.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu dedicated his life to fighting for basic civil and human rights for all. Born a teacher\u2019s son in South Africa, Tutu followed his father\u2019s path and taught for several years before studying theology.\xa0 From there, he became the first Black general secretary of the South African Council of Churches, and then the Archbishop of Cape Town.\xa0 In 1997, Nelson Mandela asked him to chair the Truth and Reconciliation Commission after the abolition of apartheid. \xa0

Archbishop Tutu presided over the ordination of his daughter Mpho Tutu into the Anglican priesthood in 2004.\xa0 This program, recorded at Davies Symphony Hall on March 17, 2010, was just after the publication of a book they wrote together, \u201cMade for Goodness, And Why This Makes All the Difference\u201d. \xa0\xa0Desmond Tutu died on December 26, 2021, at the age of 90.
