The annual event recognizes exceptional people who have worked to promote civil liberties and civil rights.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career in film and in his current role as co-chairman of Universal Pictures, David Linde<\/b> has overseen development of many films that not only serve as outstanding entertainment but also educate and enlighten viewers about freedom of speech, racism, censorship, privacy and sexual discrimination.

Jermaine Dupri,<\/b> president of Island So So Def, is a Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer who has overseen the release of dozens of platinum and gold albums. Through his involvement with the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, Dupri also has worked for voter\u2019s rights, the fight against mandatory minimum sentencing, and racial justice. By setting up Nu America, he has helped to build local youth councils across the country, and in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, he joined forces with House of Cartier to raise money and awareness for the Hurricane Relief Fund.<\/p>\n

An NBA legend and successful businessman, Earvin "Magic" Johnson<\/b> has helped pioneer investment and development opportunities in underserved communities across the country as the Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises. Through the Magic Johnson Foundation, he has demonstrated a commitment to developing programs and supporting community-based organizations that address the health, education and social needs of ethnically diverse urban communities. In addition, Johnson has worked tirelessly to address the alarming rate of HIV\/AIDS in the African-American community through his award-winning \u201cI Stand With Magic\u201d campaign, a partnership with Abbott, a global health care company.<\/p>\n
