is one of the primary areas of focus for the Foundation. Do you, no offense, understand what such a Foundation does? Did you look at the link? Here's another one, awards they gave to Visionaries to mark their 75th anniversary. Check out who they lauded and why:

Here's one example:
GADO
Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist Nairobi, Kenya

Godfrey Mwampembwa, better known by his pen name GADO, is the most syndicated political cartoonist in Eastern and Central Africa. Through his cartoons and satirical TV series, 'The XYZ Show,' he has increased awareness of social and political issues, encouraged public participation in discussions about governance and reminded elected officials of their responsibility to the public.

Another:
Bryan Stevenson
Founder and Executive Director, Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) Montgomery, Alabama

Bryan Stevenson challenges the fundamental injustice of poverty and fights bias against people of color and the poor in the criminal justice system. Through the Equal Justice Initiative, he advocates on behalf of juvenile offenders, poor people denied effective representation or wrongly convicted or charged, and others whose experiences with the criminal justice system have been marked by bias or misconduct. Stevenson teaches law at NYU and has written extensively on criminal justice, capital punishment and civil rights issues.
