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.</STRONG> </FONT></P>
