Bennett in 2001. said. "Tony is not only one of Americas premier performing artists. but he was a deeplycommitted friend and supporter of my husband and the Civil Rights Movement. and he has continued to support the efforts of the King Center to fulfill Martins dream." The list of accomplishments for Tony is innumerable. he has embodied the American spirit and he has lived the American dream. I could not be more pleased that the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has chosen to honor Tony Bennett with its highest honors on December 4th. 2005. Tony is truly a credit to his Italian heritage. and to the contributions of millions of immigrant families who have made this country great. His story is that of what is possible in America. what is great about America. and his life is the embodiment of what it means to be an American. In short.
