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.
