Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1931 – 2021)
Saddened to hear of the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize recipient & Freeman of the Borough of Lewisham.
A leader in the fight against apartheid, always standing up against injustice. My thoughts & prayers are with his family & love ones.
The world will miss this great man who allowed us all to feel we knew him because of what he shared of himself.
