Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, who was struggling against racism, convened a large gathering in Harare, Zimbabwe, in September 1987. People who attended were not shocked anew by fresh revelations of the daily horrors of apartheid. What made Harare most compelling was the vivid interplay of pain and resilience. Apartheid was brought to anguished life by the presence of 200 or so township children, several of who recounted their rending personal stories. A 12-year-old girl Nthabiseng Mabuza, crippled for life by police brutality.
