HONOR Brandon Stanton for the cultural and philanthropic work with his online community called Humans of New York. He has nearly 12 million followers around the world and has told the American and immigrant story like no other. He has also created real change. In a recent chance encounter, he featured a local student in one of the toughest neighborhoods in America. He followed the student's story all the way to his school and principal. After that meeting, he set up a fundraiser for the school and in only a matter of days over $1 Million was raised - all because of the work he does and the passion he has discovered with his community - and it's still ongoing! Last year, he took a 50 day trip in partnership with the UN, and brought his millions of followers together in a different way.
