Elias Wondimu was recognized with the 2018 Hidden Heroes Award at Loyola Marymount University on November 3rd, 2018. The CSJ Center for Reconciliation and Justice at LMU annually honors winners of the Hidden Heroes award by selecting individuals and groups who exemplify justice and reconciliation in their lives. The theme for the 2018 Hidden Heroes Recognition was “reconciliation” and the awardees selected were those who work mostly ‘under the radar’ to build bridges for justice and repair broken human relationships, similar to the life of St. Joseph, patron saint of the CSJ Community and its LMU Center for Reconciliation and Justice. As part of the recognition award, Wondimu’s life story was enacted on stage as a dramatized narrative as written by David Johann Kim and acted by Desean Terry.
