Bono was recognized for his humanitarian work at an awards dinner hosted by the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on January 17, 2004, in Atlanta.

"We are fortunate this year to honor Bono for exemplifying many of the qualities that my husband, Martin, indicated were imperative to moving our society into the beloved community of which he so often spoke," said Coretta Scott King, King's widow and the founder of the King Center.

@U2's Laura Page was on hand to photograph and report on the event for @U2.
