2007 Oscar Romero Awards

 

Chapel Awards
In 1981, The Rothko Chapel initiated human rights awards for "Commitment to Truth and Freedom." In 1986, a second award was established to honor and emulate the spirit of Oscar Arnulfo Romero, Archbishop of El Salvador, murdered on March 24, 1980. 

These Rothko Chapel Awards recognize individuals and organizations, who, at great risk, denounce violations of human rights. More and more, the Chapel has become a rallying place for all concerned with peace, freedom, and social justice throughout the world.
