The Gordon Parks Award is given to outstanding individuals whose contributions to the arts reflect four principles that Gordon demonstrated throughout his life: courage, vision, compassion and dignity. In 2009 the theme was fashion, since Gordon began his career as a fashion photographer. The honorees included activist and philanthropist Russell Simmons, model and activist Liya Kebede, designer Isabel Toledo, and photographer/filmmaker Bruce Weber.
