The Anti-Defamation League honored four journalists at a concert at Washington’s Kennedy Center for their work in exposing hatred and injustice around the world. The journalists included Pulitzer Prize winner Sydney Schanberg, whose coverage of the fall of Cambodia was the basis for the film “The Killing Fields”; National Public Radio foreign correspondent Sylvia Poggioli, who has reported on the war in Bosnia; photographer Gordon Parks, whose pictures for Life magazine and other publications depicted poverty in America; and investigative reporter Jerry Mitchell, whose stories for Mississippi’s Clarion-Ledger led to the reopening of the cases against two white supremacists who carried out murders in the civil rights era.
