NASHVILLE, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights honored singer Taylor Swift with its Ripple of Hope Award at a New York ceremony this week.
The annual award goes to leaders of the international business, entertainment, and activist communities who demonstrate commitment to social change and reflect late U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy's passion for equality, justice, basic human rights, and his belief that we all must strive to "make gentle the life of this world," the center said in a news release.
