Among those to receive honours from the outgoing US president are singer and activist Bono, basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson, longtime fashion editor Anna Wintour, soccer superstar Lionel Messi, actors Denzel Washington and Michael J. Clinton, meanwhile, "made history many times over decades in public service," including being the first woman nominated by a major party for a US presidential election. BOBBY KENNEDY Biden also chose to posthumously award a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Robert Francis Kennedy, better known as "Bobby" Kennedy or his initials, "RFK."
