The Rev. Naomi Tutu

The Reverend Naomi Tutu is an Episcopal priest, an activist and an educator who speaks out on human rights, race and gender - and reconciliation.

Among many honors and titles, she is also the daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Her experiences growing up Black and female in a remarkable family in South Africa under apartheid set the stage for her commitment to fighting hate, injustice and division.

Rev. Tutu is the guest this Thursday at 8:30 PM for this season’s finale of “The A List with Alison Lebovitz” on public media partner WTCI PBS.
