apartheid groups were outlawed in

Recognized as South Africa's
most resilient peacemaker, his active
stand against apartheid played
[ a major role in persuading President
De Klerk to abandon increased
repression. While many
criticized him for his actions,
others say he provided the moral
^ underpinning of a nationwide camI
paign of defiance.
He has now stepped back from
the limelight to make way for
leaders like Nelson Mandela, hav.

teaching from Pretoria Bantu Nor- '
mal College in 1953, an undergraI

of South Africa in 1954 and a degree
in theology from St. Peter's
Theology College in 1960. He also
has done postgraduate work at
King's College, University of

Tutu became an ordained priest
in the Anglican Church in 1961.
He has served as a schoolmaster, a
