American National Pluralism Awards Announced

WASHINGTON, D.C, (TIP): Mr. Mike Ghouse, President, Center for Pluralism has in a press note to The Indian Panorama stated that the Center for Pluralism is recognizing 19 individuals who have made an impactful contribution to society. They will be presented the American National Pluralism awards at Capitol Hill, Washington, DC on Monday, September 14, 2026. The complete address is: Room 2043, Rayburn Building, Capitol Hill, 45 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20515.
Mr. Ghouse said, “Of course, many more deserve such recognition, and we hope to honor them in the future. One requirement for this award is that the individuals have interacted with, served, and stood up for the rights of at least four different religious groups. – Complete list, including previous recipients, is at https://centerforpluralism.com/national-pluralism-awards/”.

Speaking about the awards, Mr. Ghouse said: “History often remembers those who built empires, led nations, or created significant institutions. However, societies are profoundly shaped by individuals, and our awardees have quietly resolute their lives to bringing people together.

“This vision inspired the launch of the *National Pluralism Awards*, an initiative that recognizes individuals whose lives and work embody bridge-building, understanding, and community leadership. Rather than celebrating prominence or position, the awards honor those who have devoted themselves to fostering connections across religious, cultural, and social differences, thus strengthening the very fabric of American society.

“Building upon more than three decades of public engagement, interfaith dialogue, and civic leadership, the Center for Pluralism views these awards as more than just an annual recognition program; they are part of a broader national movement. By celebrating individuals who foster trust, encourage dialogue, and inspire cooperation, the organization aims to elevate pluralism as one of America’s defining strengths for generations to come.

“The Center for Pluralism honors such individuals at its annual awards event, commemorating 30 years of contributing to a cohesive America where everyone feels secure, regardless of faith, race, ethnicity, or any other unique characteristic.”
