Honorees
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.
