"Archbishop Tutu is one of the most compassionate, unwavering, and committed leaders for human rights and dignity," said Darian Swig, the founder of Article3.org, in a statement.
"He has always spoken up and taken action for those most in need of a voice and a spotlight. Archbishop Tutu's lifetime of leadership and action is particularly timely in this moment."

Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba delivered an acceptance address on Tutu's behalf.
