... He lambasted them for endangering Bono's family by falsely claiming that Rushdie lived there. This was during or shortly after the Zoo tour when Rushdie was still in hiding.

"Fox (TV) will air "The 38th NAACP Image Awards" live on March 2, the first time any broadcast network has shown the ceremony.
The civil rights group will give an award for public service to Irish musician Bono, the U2 frontman who has raised millions to fight poverty and AIDS."

As someone who has been watching the NAACP Image Awards TV program since the early 1980's, I AM OVERJOYED to know that Bono would be honored by the NAACP - the oldest U.S. Civil Rights organization for his fight FOR AFRICA and against extreme poverty!
This would be a GREAT HONOR for Bono as it shows the growing love and respect for him not just in Africa but even amongst increasing numbers of people throughout the African diaspora!
KUDOS TO BONO - you completely deserve this award.
(((( hugs))))
