Desmond and the Very Mean Word

This story is about Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s experience with racism when he was growing up in South Africa during Apartheid. A White kid from his neighborhood calls him what we can assume is a racial slur (most likely Kaffir, which, in South Africa, is equivalent to the N-word in America) and the story is about how Bishop Tutu handles the aftermath of it, including his response and his desire to forgive.
