President Joe Biden has chosen 19 extraordinary people to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for civilians in the United States. These individuals made amazing contributions to their communities and the world. The ceremony will take place at the White House on Saturday afternoon.

Among the honored are former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, famous soccer player Lionel Messi, fashion designer Ralph Lauren, and investor George Soros. The award celebrates those who have improved the nation’s values, security, and public welfare.

The White House highlighted that Biden believes in great leaders who help others and act decently. Clinton is recognized for her groundbreaking work as the first First Lady elected to the Senate and for being the first woman nominated for president by a major party.

Lionel Messi is known as one of the best soccer players ever and helps children through his charity. George Soros, known for his philanthropy and advocacy for human rights, has also faced criticism for his views on political matters in India.

Fannie Lou Hamer and Ashton Carter will receive the award posthumously (after their passing). Hamer fought hard for racial justice, and Carter dedicated his life to national security.

Other awardees include Jane Goodall, a celebrated conservationist; Tim Gill, an advocate for LGBTQI rights; and Denzel Washington, a famous actor with many awards. The list also features influential figures like Bono from U2, Michael J. Fox, and Anna Wintour, who leads Vogue magazine.

This prestigious award highlights the remarkable achievements of these leaders who have worked to make America and the world a better place.
