Carib pols pay tribute to Archbishop Desmond Tutu
By Nelson A. King
Two Democratic Caribbean
legislators in Brooklyn
recently paid tribute
to the late Nobel Peace
Prize-winning Anglican
cleric of South Africa,
Archbishop Desmond
M. Tutu, whose civil
and human rights work
helped to end apartheid,
or the system of racial
separateness, in South
Africa.
In describing Archbishop
Tutu as “a patriot
without equal,” South
African President Cyril
Ramaphosa confirmed
his death on Dec. 26.
Archbishop Tutu was 90.
Caribbean American
Congresswoman Yvette
D. Clarke, the daughter
of Jamaican immigrants,
said Tutu was “the global
ambassador of humanity
and human rights.”
And New York City
Councilman Haitianborn
Dr. Mathieu Eugene
described Tutu as “a true
spiritual icon.”
“Archbishop Desmond
Tutu was the global
ambassador of humanity
and human rights who
helped usher in an era
that united the world in
a common cause: ending
apartheid in South Africa,”
Clarke, who represents
the primarily Caribbean
9th Congressional
District in Brooklyn, told
Caribbean Life. “What a
great loss for the world
and mankind!”
The congresswoman
said the 1984 Nobel Peace
Prize winner was the
Commencement Speaker
at her graduation from
Oberlin College, a private
liberal arts college and
conservatory of music in
Oberlin, Ohio.
She said Tutu was “a
leader and true inspiration
in the Global Racial
Justice movement.
“I have powerful and
indelible memories of
Archbishop Tutu’s passion
for justice as Commencement
Speaker,” added
Clarke, chair of the US
Congressional Black Caucus
Taskforce on Immigration;
a senior member
of the US House of Representatives’
Caribbean L 6 ife, January 7-13, 2022
Energy and
Commerce Committee;
and chair of the Cybersecurity,
Infrastructure
Protection and Innovation
Subcommittee of
the House Committee on
Homeland Security.
“This would be the
first of several encounters
with him over the years,”
she continued. “He was
truly an inspiring leader.
“He is leaving behind
a legacy that will not
only shape generations
to come but continue to
be transformative, as we
advance the movement
for a more just and equitable
world,” Clarke said.
Dr. Eugene, the first
Haitian to be elected to
New York City Council,
noted that Archbishop
Tutu was “a leader in
the anti-apartheid movement,
and a true spiritual
icon who, despite many
obstacles, dedicated his
life to the fight for freedom
and justice for all of
humanity.
“Bishop Tutu will be
remembered as a tireless
advocate and voice for
those who lived under systematic
oppression, and a
trusted source of wisdom
who understood the need
for unity and peace in
the face of intolerance
and discrimination,” said
Eugene, representative
for the predominantly
Caribbean 40th Council
District in Brooklyn.
“His legacy will live on
in all who believes in the
value of partnerships and
respect that help us work
together towards the
common good as human
beings,” he told Caribbean
Life. “May God bless
his family during this very
difficult time.”
New York City Mayorelect
Elect Eric Adams,
who will assume office on
Jan. 1, said the passing
of Archbishop Tutu is “a
heartbreaking loss for our
global community.
“A champion of civil
rights whose voice brought
down apartheid in South
Africa and advanced the
fight for human and economic
justice throughout
the world, Archbishop
Tutu’s advocacy resonated
across generations,
cultures and communities,”
said Adams, who
will become the second
Black Mayor of New York
City after the first, the
late David Dinkins.
“His lessons of love,
justice and empowerment
have personally inspired
me throughout my journey
as a public servant,”
added Adams, the incumbent
Brooklyn Borough
President.
“One quote of his in
particular always stays
with me: ‘There comes a
point where we need to
stop just pulling people
out of the river. We need
to go upstream and find
out why they’re falling
in,’” Adams continued.
United States President
Joe Biden and First Lady
Jill Biden said in a White
House statement that
they were “heartbroken”
to learn on, “this morning
after Christmas”, the
passing of “a true servant
of God and of the people.”
Flowers are laid over the coffi n of the late Archbishop
Desmond Tutu during the state funeral.
