Congratulations to Man Eegee and the other founding editors of The Sanctuary for winning the New America Media (NAM) award for “Best Blogger on Ethnic Perspectives.”

It has been such a pleasure to get to know Manny from his participation here at BT – he has certainly expanded my world.
From his welcoming words… his sense of humor… his thoughtful sharing of his growing up and living as an “other” in this place called “America”… his sharing of his explorations and delight in his growing cultural identity… his ability to participate in conflicts without forgetting the humanity of those with whom he disagreed… all written from the heart!

And then he began his own blog, Latino Politico where he began to focus his passion and activism. His connections expanded – a person who is not afraid to get to know others, to learn, to grow.

Joining with others, Manny helped create The Sanctuary:

The Sanctuary is a grassroots effort of  pro-migrant, human-rights, and civil-rights bloggers and on-line activists dedicated to the enactment of meaningful immigration reform that is practical, rational, fair and most of all humane.

Thank you for being you!
