Foundation Honours Desmond Tutu

Retired South African archbishop and Nobel peace laureate has been honoured with an award, accompanied by a grant of U.S. 1 million, for being a "scourge of injustice, ready to rock the boat if necessary and speak out against those political leaders who he believes have let down their citizens and wider world."
