Archbishop Tutu is one of the most well-known champions of antiapartheid in South Africa and is a vigorous campaigner for many human rights causes. Leah, a founder of the South African Domestic Workers Association, has worked alongside her husband to advocate for peace and social justice. These art pieces also honor the Tutus' faith and the enduring love they have for each other. The word \u003ci\u003eubuntutu\u003c\/i\u003e, coined by one of the quilt artists, combines the name Tutu with the Nguni word \u003ci\u003eubuntu\u003c\/i\u003e, which can be translated as \"human kindness.\" In the spirit of \u003ci\u003eubuntu\u003c\/i\u003e, the quilts featured in this catalog remind us we are all interconnected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, which accompanies an exhibition by the same name, is a collaborative project of the Michigan State University Museum, the Women of Color Quilters Network, and the Desmond \u0026amp; Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarsha MacDowell is Professor and Curator of Folk Arts at the Michigan State University Museum in East Lansing, Michigan.
