The phrase has since been incorporated into the FELMAUSA (Federation of Liberia Muslim Living in the USA) National Convention.
Since 2016, each year, the committee reviews nominations from the public and select one person as the recipient.  And that person is awarded at the FELMAUSA National Convention.
