The Purple Shall Govern

Early in September 1989, peaceful protest marchers bearing placards proclaiming `the people shall govern' were sprayed with purple dye.

In recent years Africa's booming art scene has gained substantial global attention, with a growing number of international exhibitions and a stronger-than-ever presence on the art market worldwide. Here, for the first time, is the most substantial survey to date of modern and contemporary African-born or Africa-based artists.

They call him Mr. Purple, and this is his Psalmody. The Purple Psalmody is a collection of musical settings of the psalms for Sundays, solemnities, feasts, and memorials of the Catholic Church. It began with The Queen Stands, a song for the Solemnity of the Assumption, and ended up with Highest Honor of our Race, for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Between the two Marian songs are more than a hundred other musical settings composed sporadically within a span of almost three decades. These songs have been used in the author’s music ministry at several Catholic schools and parishes both in the Philippines (where he came from) and the United States (where he now resides). Varied in styles and moods, these musical settings are the author’s personal expression of faith in, and love for, Jesus through Mary. They are his personal prayer to God. But they can be yours, too. Come sing—and pray twice, as St. Augustine said in effect—with Mr. Purple. Come sing The Purple Psalmody.

Written by a distinguished journalist and longtime associate of Desmond Tutu, this definitive biography captures the flavor and details of Tutu's life while shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of modern society. Drawing on personal experiences with Tutu, as well as unprecedented access to his papers, this account explores how Tutu transformed from a barefoot schoolboy in a deprived black township into an international symbol of the democratic spirit and religious faith. During face-to-face confrontations with South African leaders and violent protests in the streets, Tutu maintained his faith in the power of peace, and when appointed to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Tutu seized upon it as an instrument of healing and redemption. Through his moral example and his lyrical command of language, he has successfully appealed to the conscience of the world and brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "human rights."
