The Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Medals
On January 6, 1941, in one of the most important speeches of the 20th century, President Roosevelt proclaimed four freedoms essential to any flourishing democracy: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
Each year, a single individual is selected for the FDR Four Freedoms Award which honors a lifetime of distinguished service and an unwavering commitment to these freedoms. In addition, each year, a Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Medal representing each of these values is presented to an individual whose life and work embody that ideal.
