ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

American Peace Award

The American Peace Award is a special prize that is given to people who work really hard to make the world a better and more peaceful place. It's like when your mom or dad gives you a sticker for doing something nice or helpful, but for grown-ups who do really big things.

Sometimes these people work to help stop wars or prevent fights between countries. Other times they work to help people understand each other better and be nicer to each other, even if they come from different places or believe different things.

It's important to give these people a prize because it shows that we appreciate all the good they are doing. Plus, it might inspire other people to try to make the world a more peaceful place too.
