CINCINNATI (AP) - The National Underground Railroad and Freedom Center will honor former presidents Bush and Clinton for their work in disaster relief, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The former presidents traveled together and appeared in television commercials to help raise money for tsunami aid in Southeast Asia and for hurricane relief in southern U.S. cities. For their efforts, they will be presented with International Freedom Conductor awards in June, spokesman Paul Bernish said.
Previous winners of the award include Rosa Parks in 1998 and Bishop Desmond Tutu in 2000.
