2021 Leopoldo Lopez Freedom and Democracy Award Presentation: Chen Guangcheng

The Leopoldo López Freedom and Democracy Award honors an individual who has shown a commitment to plural and inclusive democracy echoing that of the award’s namesake, prominent Venezuelan opposition leader and political prisoner Leopoldo López ’93 H’07. In creating the award, López’s classmates, family and the Kenyon community at large ensure López’s commitment and bravery will not be forgotten, and they shine a light on the dangers of undermining the core principles of democracy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Leopoldo López Freedom and Democracy Award and tonight’s event were made possible by the efforts of many people.
