The late Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be remembered as a tireless fighter for social justice, notably for his nonviolent activism against the apartheid regime in South Africa, but as well as being a strong proponent for equality and peace around the world. Take a look at Desmond Tutu’s human rights legacy here.

I want to be the spectacle of Poesy triumphant over trickery of the world Omniscient breathing its own breath thru War tear gas spy hallucination whose common sense astonished gaga Gurus and rich Artistes— who called the Justice department & threaten’d to Blow the Whistle Stopt Wars, turned back petrochemical Industries’ Captains to grieve & groan in bed Chopped wood, built forest houses & established farms distributed monies to poor poets & nourished imaginative genius of the land Sat silent in jazz roar writing poetry with an ink pen— wasn’t afraid of God or Death after his 48th year— let his brains turn to water under Laughing Gas his gold molar pulled by futuristic dentists Seaman knew ocean’s surface a year carpenter late learned bevel and mattock son, conversed with elder Pound & treated his father gently —All empty all for show, all for the sake of Poesy to set surpassing example of sanity as measure for late generations Exemplify Muse Power to the young avert future suicide accepting his own lie & the gaps between lies with equal good humor Solitary in worlds full of insects & singing birds all solitary

There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels…upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
