Well-known Vietnam veteran Artie Guerrero and civil- rights activist and historian Vincent Harding are the two recipients of the 2010 Civil Rights Award from the Anti-Defamation League’s Mountain States Office.
Guerrero, who as a 22-year-old Army Ranger was critically wounded in a firefight with three companies of Viet Cong, is being honored for advocacy for people with disabilities.
Harding, Iliff School of Theology professor emeritus, is being honored “as a leading voice in communicating the history and message of the African-American civil-rights movement.”
“Both Artie Guerrero and Vincent Harding have spent their careers working for civil rights and respect for all people,” said ADL regional director Bruce DeBoskey. “It is a privilege to be able to acknowledge their decades of work with ADL’s prestigious Civil Rights Awards.”
