U2 frontman Bono was presented with the inaugural George W. Bush Medal for Distinguished Leadership earlier this week. The award was instituted by George W. Bush Presidential Center to honor individuals who change the world in some way. At a gala for the Forum on Leadership at the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas, the former President presented the U2 singer with the honor for his work in combating the HIV/AIDS crisis and poverty in Africa. “It’s a huge honor to [win] this award, and I’m here to honor your leadership on the greatest health intervention in the history of medicine,” Bono told Bush in a live-streamed Q&A session. The U2 frontman also paid tribute to former First Lady Barbara Bush, who died Tuesday, and applauded her role in helping to de-stigmatize AIDS. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
