It’s been a busy week on the White House. Following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, a visit abroad, and calls to change the filibuster, President Biden as we speak introduced the recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And Steve Jobs has posthumously made the lower.
The CEO, co-founder, and chair of Apple, handed away in 2011 however the iPhone and Pixar Animation Studios stay on. The White House web site states “His vision, imagination and creativity led to inventions that have, and continue to, change the way the world communicates, as well as transforming the computer, music, film and wireless industries.”
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the very best honor that may be bestowed on to civilians within the United States. It is offered to people who’ve “made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.”
Some of the recipients embody Megan Rapinoe, an advocate for LGBT rights (Justice Clarence Thomas not too long ago wrote his opinion to begin to rethink Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges, which shield same-sex relationship and same-sex marriage), Gabrielle Giffords who’s survivor of gun violence (the Supreme Court struck down a New York State legislation that required candidates of a concealed-carry allow to show that they’d “proper cause” for doing so), oh yeah and Steve Jobs.
President Biden named seventeen recipients in complete. That recipient listing contains: Simone Biles, Denzel Washington, Sister Simone Campbell, Julieta Garcia, Gabrielle Giffords, Fred Gray, Father Alexander Karloutsos, Khizr Khan, Sandra Lindsay, John McCain (posthumous award), Diane Nash, Megan Rapinoe, Alan Simpson, Richard Trumpka (posthumous award), Wilma Vaught, and Raul Yzaguirre.
The awards might be offered on July 7 on the White House.
