What Archbishop Tutu Says
Share
One of my favourite moments of the U2 360 show is Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s stirring speech about taking action together as ONE. The Archbishop is ONE’s international patron, and has more authority to talk about the power of collective action than just about anyone. It is humbling to hear him say that as we take action against extreme poverty we are proving ourselves to be the same people as those who have engaged in other great humanitarian movements, like the struggle to end apartheid which he championed.
I’m including a video here from the folks at U2.com, but really you have to be there to feel the impact. As a ONE campaigner it just floors you.
