President Biden awarded the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to 19 individuals on Saturday, including notable figures from politics, culture, and the arts such as Hillary Clinton, Ralph Lauren, Bono, and George Soros. Among them, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and Michigan Governor George Romney, father of former Senator Mitt Romney, were posthumously honored. Biden praised the recipients’ extraordinary contributions, but are there any unsung heroes behind these political celebrities and business magnates among the 19 recipients?
