Trump’s Untold Acts Of Kindness: In 1986, Trump Was Awarded The Medal of Honor Alongside Rosa Parks And Muhammad Ali

Baseball player Joe DiMaggio and singer Anita Bryant also received the award alongside Trump.

Trump was described as “German” and a “developer,” Parks as an “African American” and an “activist,” and Ali as an “African American” and a “boxer.”

A week and a half before the ceremony, 80 Americans from 42 ethnic groups were selected as recipients of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, according to the New York Times.

Ellis Island Medals of Honor are “presented annually to those who have shown an outstanding commitment to serving our nation either professionally, culturally or civically, among other criteria.”

The award "honors the importance of immigration to America’s prosperity and celebrates the contributions immigrants and their progeny have made to our nation."
