From The Tennessean:
Former Tennessean editor and publisher and Chairman Emeritus John Seigenthaler was among those honored at the 2011 Freedom Awards, sponsored by the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
In honor of the museum’s 20th anniversary, the awards were expanded this year to include honors for civil rights pioneers in education, sports, humanitarianism, the arts, activism and legal justice.
