Austria gala honors Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was honored in Austria on Friday, a month after his death devastated fans across the world.

His brother Jermaine Jackson accepted the "2009 Save the World Award" for the King of Pop's efforts to reach out to the less fortunate and give a voice to the vulnerable.

"I'm very proud that Michael enriched the lives of so many people, not only with his music but with his immense generosity," Jackson said as he accepted the prize at a gala west of Vienna.

Others honored included sprinter Carl Lewis, whose foundation supports underprivileged children, and Thomas Henningsen, climate policy coordinator at Greenpeace.
