The honorees list plays special homage to /”firsts/” in their field, including the /”Everything Everywhere All at Once/” actress Michelle Yeoh, who was the first Asian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress; Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman in space.
The president also honored Katie Ledecky, the winningest female swimmer in history. Ledecky’s numerous records include her 16 individual gold medals and 26 overall medals at the World Aquatics Championships and her six individual Olympic gold medals.
Biden also included some key political allies in the Democratic Party, as Nancy Pelosi, who shepherded his legislative agenda through Congress as House of Representatives speaker until last year.
Also included are several one-time presidential candidates, former Senator Elizabeth Dole, former Vice President Al Gore, one-time Secretary of State John Kerry and the previous New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
