My hometown of Detroit will be the center of national attention this weekend, as it hosts the Superbowl.

It has been awarded only three times previously. The other recipients have included the actor James Earl Jones, the neurosurgeon Benjamin Carson, and some guy named Saddam Hussein (scroll down to the second item).
