Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards Reflect His Concerns About Human Rights and Social Justice

From a post from rfkhumanrights.org announcing the 2021 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards:

Founded by the reporters who covered Robert F. Kennedy’s historic 1968 presidential campaign, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards honor outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert Kennedy’s concerns, including human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world. Entries should provide insights into the causes, conditions, and remedies of human rights violations and injustice, and critical analysis of relevant policies, programs, individual actions, and private endeavors that foster positive change.
