National Humanities Medal
Okay kiddo, you know how there are awards for people who do good things or work really hard and deserve recognition? The National Humanities Medal is one of those awards, but it's given to people who do really important and helpful things to help us understand history, culture, and how people think and feel.
It's like getting a medal for being a really good teacher or writer, or for helping people understand important things about life. It's given out by the United States government to people who have made a big impact in the world of humanities, which includes things like history, literature, philosophy, and how people think about and express their ideas and feelings.
The medal has a picture on it of a laurel wreath, which is a special symbol that represents achievement and honor, and it's made of a special material called bronze that shines really nicely. So, if you hear someone say they won a National Humanities Medal, you know they've done something really important and made a big difference in the world!
