The two Latinos are in a very exclusive list that includes former President Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey this year.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the country’s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors, according the White House.
The awards will be presented at the White House later this year.
