The Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States, was awarded to 19 individuals by President Joe Biden on Saturday (January 4).

“These nineteen individuals are great leaders who have made America and the world a better place. They are great leaders because they are good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world,” Biden relayed in an official statement.

Presented to persons who have “made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors,” big names like former Senator, Secretary of State, and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, U2 frontman Bono, legendary actors Denzel Washington and Michael J. Fox, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Anna Wintour, and NBA icon Earvin “Magic” Johnson were among this year’s honorees.
