On May 15, the civil and human rights community will honor American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten with its highest honor, the Hubert H. Humphrey Civil and Human Rights Award, for her lifelong commitment to improving America’s education system.

Weingarten has been a leading voice in dialogue among parents, teachers, community partners, and public officials regarding equal access to quality education. She also plays a critical role in the coalition as a member of the board of The Leadership Conference.
