The John Robert Lewis Lifetime Legacy Award
The John Robert Lewis Lifetime Legacy Award is presented annually to an individual whose life’s work has sought to advance the dignity of all humans, no matter their circumstances. Through grit, determination, and, often, personal and physical sacrifice, they have fought tirelessly on behalf of our better angels, like the Award’s namesake.
The 2024 recipient of the John Robert Lewis Lifetime Legacy Award is Congressman Steny Hoyer, who represents Maryland’s 5th congressional district.
March On Award
The March On Awards were created to honor leaders across disciplines whose commitment to advancing civil rights is unwavering. Through their actions and with courage, they have ignited national conversations, compelled progress, and used their platforms as instruments for social justice and cultural change. As foot soldiers in the fight against injustice everywhere, we honor their work, commitment, and sustained efforts to continue the march forward.
The 2024 March On Award recipients are Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, an accomplished actress and digital creator, and Reginald Dwayne Betts, the founder and director of Freedom Reads.
