September 24, 2001

On Thursday, the Ford Foundation announced its 20 Leadership for a Changing World Award winners, who were chosen from 3,000 nominees nationwide. The winners included Phil Wilson, director of the African American AIDS Policy and Training Institute. Wilson created a think-tank devoted to educating people about preventing AIDS, said Thea Lurie of the Ford Foundation. Through a partnership with University of Southern California, Wilson created a two-year program that teaches people how to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS in their communities. Also named was Bill Rauch, who was recognized for his work as artistic director at Cornerstone Theatre. The Los Angeles facility focuses on productions that prompt discussions of social issues, including AIDS education, school segregation, racial profiling and unwed mothers.
