The Nobel Peace Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal of Norman E. Borlaug went on display Oct. 9 in the newly reimagined Norman E. Borlaug Building at Texas A&M University.
Texas A&M AgriLife leaders unveiled the Norman E. Borlaug Medals Display during “A Legacy of Impact.” Borlaug’s daughter, Jeanie Borlaug, and his granddaughter attended the ceremony. The display case holds the three medals alongside a portrait of Borlaug.
Together, the medals are among the highest international, national and civic recognitions a person can receive. They honor Borlaug’s lifetime of work to end hunger and his leadership of the Green Revolution, which increased food production around the world and prevented famine.
