New Podcast Item - Desmond Tutu, Insisting we are "Made for Goodness"

New Podcast Item

From NPR's Morning Edition on March 11th.

------

Our occasional series with people of broad experience turns this week to a man characterized by his faith — and his willingness to fight.

In the era of apartheid, Archbishop Desmond Tutu railed against the injustice and inhumanity of South Africa's government, and his passionate advocacy helped make the change that came to that country in the 1990s.
