Julius Nyerere

Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere (13 April 1922 – 14 October 1999)

"The Conscience of Africa"

We say man was created in the image of God.  I refuse to imagine a God who is miserable, poor, ignorant, superstitious, fearful, oppressed and wretched--which is the lot of the majority of those He created in His own image.                                       

                                                          --Julius K. Nyerere, Maryknoll magazine, June 1971
