The Nobel Peace Prize laureate and anti-apartheid leader died in South Africa at 90., was remembered as a"true humanitarian" committed to racial equality in his home country of South Africa and abroad.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden said in a statement that Desmond Tutu’s “legacy transcends borders and will echo throughout the ages.” "We felt his warmth and joy when we visited him during the 2010 World Cup that celebrated the diversity and beauty of his beloved nation.

Just taking it all in makes me hopeful.
