The  Rothko Chapel will honor Dr. Murhabazi Namegabe for  his courageous

Guided  by founder Dominique de Menil, the Rothko Chapel  established the 
award in 1986 to commemorate the life  and honor the sacrifice of Óscar 
Arnulfo Romero,  Archbishop of San Salvador. A vocal advocate for the  poor and 
oppressed in El Salvador and beyond,  Archbishop Romero was murdered by an 
assassin from the  repressive forces while he was saying Mass on March  24, 
1980. The Óscar Romero Award recognizes an  individual or organization whose 
selfless courage and  commitment to human rights have made a profound  
difference to the human race.        
Dr.  Murhabazi Namegabe
