Prince may soon be recognized with what’s considered the nation’s highest civilian honor.
Minnesota’s Congressional delegation introduced a resolution seeking to award Prince with the Congressional Gold Medal. The resolution, presented by the state’s Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, says Prince deserves the honor due to his “indelible mark on Minnesota and American culture.”
“The world is a whole lot cooler because Prince was in it—he touched our hearts, opened our minds, and made us want to dance,” Klobuchar argued. “With this legislation, we honor his memory and contributions as a composer, performer, and music innovator. Purple reigns in Minnesota today and every day because of him.”
In order for Prince to receive the honor, the resolution must be approved by at least two-thirds of the members of both the Senate and House of Representatives.
