The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, the City agency that enforces civil rights laws and deals with all matters of inter-group conflict and neighborhood disputes, hosts a Human Rights Awards Luncheon each year to publicly recognize and salute individuals and organizations that have improved cultural understanding and inter-group harmony in our diverse communities. This year, the Individual Award in Arts and Culture will go to absolutearts.com Premiere Artist, Gerard Di Falco.

'We thank our honorees for their service to our City,' said Rue Landau, Esq., PCHR Executive Director.
