Tutu to make Seattle visit
By BRAD WONG
P-I REPORTER

He served as a key leader in ending South Africa's apartheid regime -- and he received a Nobel Peace Prize for his work.

Next week, Archbishop Desmond Tutu will make two appearances in Seattle -- including one talk that is open to people on a first-come, first-served basis.

As part of the 75th birthday celebrations for Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, Tutu will speak at a gala Wednesday dinner and award ceremony that starts at 5:30 p.m., according to the Seattle institution's Web site.

The cathedral is honoring him for his contributions to "reconciliation and social justice."
