Desmond Tutu Quotes

Our Nation Sought To Rehabilitate And Affirm The Dignity And Personhood Of Those Who For So Long Had Been Silenced, Had Been Turned Into Anonymous, Marginalized Ones. Now They Would Be Able To Tell Their Stories, They Would Remember, And In Remembering Would Be Acknowledged To Be Persons With An Inalienable Personhood. Our Country's Negotiators Rejected The Two Extremes And Opted For A "third Way," A Compromise Between The Extreme Of Nuremberg Trials And Blanket Amnesty Or National Amnesia. And That Third Way Was Granting Amnesty To Individuals In Exchange For A Full Disclosure Relating To The Crime For Which Amnesty Was Being Sought.

The Option South Africa Chose Raises
