Confusion at City Hall – Honoring Desmond Tutu

Posted by: laventhal on: November 22, 2008

A ceremony honoring Archbishop Desmond Tutu – an important anti-apartheid activist – took place at City Hall in Jersey City. Those in attendance were disappointed to find out that the honoree was not even in the city. Confusion due to local newspaper reports caused three television crews, as well as a handful of print reporters, to show up for the event. Council members were at a loss to explain the cause of the mix-up.

In the Archbishop’s place, Thabo Mashulogo, a project manager at The Desmond Tutu Peace Centre accepted a plaque and key to the city from Mayor Jeremiah Healy and the council members in attendance.
