The Viewers Choice for CNN Heroes ‘Most Inspiring Moment’ Is Humanity Wins
The reimagined CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute ceremony, where this year’s ‘Most Inspiring Moment’ chosen by viewers is Humanity Wins. The image is of Patrick Hutchinson who was attending his first Black Lives Matter protest in London when violence erupted. He spotted an attack on a man who had wandered into the crowd and carried him to safety. Turns out that man, Bryn Male, was a former police officer.
