2005 Ethical Humanist Award Presentation to David Kaczynski
7:00 pm - New York Society For Ethical Culture - 2 West 64th Street
The NYSEC will award its 2005 Ethical Humanist Award to David Kaczynski.
In 1970, the New York Society for Ethical Culture instituted the Ethical
Humanist Award to honor individuals who have "acted with extraordinary
moral courage, without regard for the sanction or acclaim of his or her
peers or of society, and whose actions have had broad humanizing
implications"
Past recipients have included Mario Cuomo, Senators Paul Wellstone, John
McCain, Russell Feingold and James Jeffords.
David Kaczynski will be honored for his courageous action in turning his
brother, Ted Kaczynski, over to the authorities when he realized he was the
Unibomber. Since then, David has devoted his life to New Yorkers Against
the Death Penalty, an organization that is very influential in the current
reevaluation of the death penalty in New York State.
Awards Ceremony: Free and open to the public - all are welcome.
A reception will follow the ceremony.
For those wishing to attend the reception, Tickets are $35. Reservations
are required. Please RSVP by May 9
