In 1996, he was appointed chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In an effort to unite South Africans, this unique Commission aimed at getting to the truth of apartheid crimes against humanity. The TRC's final report, released in October, created intense emotions on all sides. It held both the apartheid government and freedom fighters accountable for various human rights violations. Host Ray Suarez talks with Bishop Tutu about his work on the TRC, the report, and what other countries might learn from the process.
