The Martin Luther King, Jr. Human Rights Week’s keynote speaker Nontombi Naomi Tutu gave a speech on the importance of honesty when dealing with racial differences. She phrased America’s suppressed prejudice as “internalized racism” and addressed South Africa’s current racial status by claiming that in twenty years, it would be “better than America’s,” because the nation was formerly under apartheid but now the citizens were able to be open and expressive about their differences, thus exploring shared ground.
