"Photographer David Hume Kennerly Resigns from Gerald Ford Foundation Board in Protest"
Pulitzer-prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly resigned from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation board in protest of the organization's refusal to honor former Rep. Liz Cheney with its top award, citing concerns over potential retribution from Donald Trump. Kennerly criticized the foundation for rejecting Cheney, an outspoken critic of Trump, and accused them of prioritizing political considerations over honoring her distinguished public service. The foundation's executive director defended the decision, citing legal and political risks, while Kennerly expressed disappointment in the foundation's failure to recognize Cheney's merits and her defense of democracy.
