Since 1999, the Washington-based Arab American Institute Foundation has honored groups and individuals working to foster cross-cultural understanding with an award named for the poet and philosopher Khalil Gibran. The Lebanese American is perhaps best known for his 1923 collection of poems titled The Prophet. But he is also remembered for his love of humanity, his passion for equality and his skill at fusing East and West. The winners of this year's Gibran awards, as in the past, embody the poet's ideals.
