New York -- The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights in New York says it plans to present Bono and Wyclef Jean with its 2009 Ripple of Hope Award.
The prize is to be presented at the center's annual dinner Nov. 18.
"As champions of justice, Bono and Wyclef have brought the national spotlight to human rights violations, empowered local activists and transformed the lives of millions of people living in poverty from Port-Au-Prince to Darfur," Kerry Kennedy, founder of the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights, said in a statement Friday. "Their efforts evoke the spirit of my father and we are honored to recognize them."
